With the musical foundation established by Curtis Mayfield’s iconic soundtrack,Producer Joel Silver and Director X knew there were only a handful of music producers who could create the musical soundtrack to match the heightened level of excitement and anticipation they were intent on creating for the film.
X had a definitive vision and person in mind. “What made the Super Fly soundtrack something special was that Curtis Mayfield had a singular vision for the music. That’s what I wanted for our Superfly: I wanted to hand the music to someone who would have a vision that would understand the world, could make a commentary on it. When you start talking about these requirements, really there’s only one person, and that’s Future. It couldn’t be anyone else.”
Future, the Atlanta-based producer, songwriter and recording artist would be tasked with curating the soundtrack as well as producing the film alongside Silver.
Fellow Atlantan Zaytoven, a music producer known for his work with such artists as Future, Gucci Mane, and Usher, would also re-team with Future.
Performing on 10 of the soundtrack’s 13 songs, Future teams with some of the world’s biggest names in trap music, including 21 Savage, Young Thug, Lil Wayne, Gunna, and PARTYNEXTDOOR. In addition, there are original tracks from Sleepy Brown, Miguel, and Khalid x H.E.R.
