five tracks that stand out as the best
that the movie soundtrack has to offer
[Music]
number five pray for me
the weekend in Kendrick Lamar it’s about
time these two gave us another team-up
featuring a heavy futuristic beat that
sounds like it could have fit right in
on the weekends last album star boy it’s
the Toronto singers passionate chorus
that makes this track one to have on
repeat
[Music]
with lyrics that showcase our hero to
chavez stance on the film’s events its
use in the movie itself was both
symbolic and empowering pray for me
closes off the record and leaves the
listener feeling hopeful as kendrick
lamar’s outro acts as the bookend to
this stellar playlist that he’s compiled
I fight the world I fight you I’ll fight
myself I fight bad just tell me how many
birdies left
I fight pain that hurt change to dare
wept I’m trying to fight back tears
blood on my doorstep Number Four Seasons
mozzie Java and reason while the Black
Panther soundtrack features mostly the
best in a list musical talent that’s not
to say Kendrick doesn’t try to expose
the world to some greater lesser-known
talent as well featuring some lyrics in
the Zulu language courtesy of Siva this
tracks international flavor is what
really makes it a serious standout
of course you also have mozzie and
reason who serve up some impressive
flows in a slow jam that will hopefully
make these underground names some
serious ones to watch when they’re
caught up in the black box I hit the
hobby but we made it we already saved us
thinking that he could’ve died Lulu’s
prayer to the sky an Islamic rebels
killed up but tough luck he tried to get
revenge at the drop was popped in and
killed him
where’s partisan so familiar
[Music]
number three all the stars Kendrick
Lamar and Sousa
[Music]
at this point it’s no secret that
kendrick and relative newcomer scissor
work insanely well together as lead
single from the soundtrack album the
inspiring track complements these label
mates flawlessly while also showcasing
each artists distinct style i want the
credit losing or winning on my mama
doesn’t really shit before the track
comes to a climactic close orchestral
strings hang in the background as sis’s
vocals become stronger the song quickly
became a monster hit for the two artists
and find themselves at the top of their
game in 2018 and the track’s music video
is chock-full of stunning imagery

[Music]
number two ops Vince staples and ujin
Blackrock all right now we start getting
into the heavy stuff Vince staples is
last album big fish theory featured some
thumping club beats that made for one of
the most exciting listens of the year
[Music]
this track which sees him teaming up
with South African rapper you can Black
Rock follows the same formula to create
an unrelenting 3 minutes of head banging
goodness what you’re standing on the
side for more like a lion is part like a
sidewalk spits League I do some little
flowers on my mind but of course the
songs used in the film and trailer are
just as epic
[Music]
number one King’s dead j-rock Kendrick
Lamar future and James play it can often
be hard to fit so many artists onto one
track but for this single which features
j-rock Kendrick Lamar future and James
Blake they managed to make it work
[Music]
featuring one of the most impressive
verses Kendricks released thus far
there’s no shortage of surprises from
the other artists on this track as well
including a seriously strange line
delivery from future with the RnB
stylings of James Blake and a music
video so insane how could you possibly
not love King’s dead
