The "Space Jam: A New Legacy" soundtrack features Seal, Quad City DJ, Busta Rhymes, and Coolio, the soundtrack to the OG film and is featured by Chance the Rapper, Lil Uzi Vert, Sowety, John Legend, the Jonas Brothers and a Dame Dola, aka. enhances. Portland Trail Blazers star Damien Lillard.
The much-anticipated new film's soundtrack and its highly-anticipated predecessor have one thing in common—aside from the artist Salt-N-Pepa, who appears on both albums—and that's a desire to be legendary.
Spencer Beaghley, head of film at LeBron James' production company Springhill, said, "We knew that the whole idea of making a soundtrack for this generation, with a soundtrack for this one, was, but still that was the melting pot we all really wanted." I wanted to." , said in a feature for Billboard.
It wouldn't be unreasonable to say that the new soundtrack has more legacy to live up to than the new film. As someone who still gets irrationally hyped upon hearing the words "This is your chance, do your dance," it's good to know that Begley understands the gravity of the situation.
Dame Dola, who plays Kronos in the film, is the only actor (and athlete) to also appear on the album with the original song "About That Time", featuring G-Eazy, P-Lo and White Dave. . While news that Lillard's key role in the film broke in May, it was not until June 17 that Day Time shared on Twitter that he would also be on the album.
To anyone familiar with Lillard's music, it should come as no surprise that the hoops star would do both. Lillard entered the world of hip-hop as a socially conscious songwriter with Dame D.O.L.L.A. As respect is earned, which God allows at different levels. He has recorded songs with some of the biggest names in the music industry including Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz and Jamie Foxx. He also performed with Wayne during the NBA All-Star Weekend in 2020. In the NBA playoff bubble last year, Lillard spent time laying track when he wasn't busy with basketball, turning part of his suite at Walt Disney World Resorts into a mini. recording studio.
"Where am I from, if you got it, they try to pick things up. I was truncating the circle before the cake came out," says D.O.L.L.A. The rap on the new track - which you can listen to along with the rest of the soundtrack, right here:
