The list for the soundtrack has been released, and features a collection of big-name talent. With RZA making his big move from music to directing, it seems he was able to get a lot of friends to help out with the music for his big debut.
The soundtrack includes new songs from Kanye West, the Wu-Tang Clan, Talib Kweli, Ghostface Killah, Pusha T and Raekwon. Also, RZA teams up with the Black Keys for the new song “The Baddest Man Alive.” He also teams up with Flatbush Zombies.
At Comic-Con, RZA, who wrote the script with Eli Roth, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the film, which is presented by Quentin Tarantino.
“I’m in love with film,” he told THR, adding that he also wrote the score for the movie. “Film and music, they have a very similar wavelength, and so they intertwine. For me, they go hand-in-hand.”
