Summary
- The Highest 2 Lowest soundtrack is out now, featuring contributions from Aiyana-Lee, A$AP Rocky, and more
- Rocky offers up two new solo tracks to the compilation album for Spike Lee’s new film, the tracks dubbed “Trunks” and “Both Eyes Closed”
Spike Lee‘s Highest 2 Lowest press run had us all hooked, with film stars Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky commanding the screen and charming every red carpet they graced. With such a visionary cast, it’s no surprise the soundtrack to Lee’s latest visual endeavor is top-tier; the full sonic component of the film is available on streaming services today as the crime drama makes its global premiere.
The full soundtrack spans 19 tracks, with features coming from Aiyana Lee, Howard Drossin, Jensen McRae, and Rocky himself.
Surfacing before any new semblance of his forthcoming album DON’T BE DUMB – the album’s last presumed single “pray4dagang” dropped last month – come two new solo Rocky tracks.
First up is track number eight in the lineup, “Trunks,” a classic Rocky cut. He gets more introspective on his second solo offering on the soundtrack, track 14, “Both Eyes Closed.”
