Kendrick Lamar Releases ‘Black Panther’ Tracklist
The soundtrack to the year’s most anticipated Marvel movie is packed with hip-hop star power. Kendrick Lamar, who is co-producing the soundtrack to Black Panther in collaboration with Top Dawg Entertainment president Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith and director Ryan Coogler, has unveiled the official tracklist for the film on Twitter.
Fans already knew that the TDE camp would be involved in the soundtrack — the first two tracks of the album, “All The Stars” and “King’s Dead,” showcase the talents of label mates SZA and Jay Rock respectively. But now it’s clear Top Dawg is pulling from all sides of the hip-hop world, as well as outside of it, to provide the sounds of Wakanda.
Along with big rap names like 2 Chainz, Future, Vince Staples and Anderson .Paak, Sacramento spitter Mozzy and Vallejo, Calif. crew SOB x RBE are in the mix, no doubt to provide a dose of West Side authenticity for the Compton rapper’s peace of mind. K. Dot himself appears on five of the 14 tracks.
Outside of the rap space, TDE has recruited a few wild cards from other genres: rising R&B star Jorja Smith and teenage pop sensation Khalid all appear on the 14-track album. Notice that the song titled “Redemption Interlude” does not have artist credits next to it, implying that there is one more surprise to come. With both the film and the soundtrack being hailed as the “blackest” production ever conceived by Marvel, the last punch pulled has got to be a member of music royalty.

With his latest single “Say My Name”, Axel Farden continues to shape his identity as a storyteller who wears his heart on his sleeve. Taken from his forthcoming album Alive, the track blends soulful vocal textures with crisp, modern production to create a sound that feels both intimate and cinematic. For longtime fans and new listeners alike, this is Axel at his most resonant.
The song’s genesis in a viral TikTok progression adds an intriguing twist. Rather than a gimmick, Farden transforms the initial spark into a lush, emotionally nuanced track that explores the tension between vulnerability and strength. His voice serves as the guiding force, navigating the spaces between heartache and hope with disarming sincerity.
Vocally, Farden shines. He slips between silky falsetto and rich midrange with elegance, allowing his emotional arc to unfold naturally. There’s a quiet confidence to the way he sings, reminiscent of artists like Giveon and Daniel Caesar, yet unmistakably marked by his own melodic intuition and lyrical focus.
The production is sleek but unintrusive—crafted with intention and restraint. It gives “Say My Name” the space to breathe, each element falling into place like pieces of a larger emotional puzzle. The result is a track that’s atmospheric without being cold, personal without being overly confessional.
As a lead single, “Say My Name” sets the tone for what Alive promises to be: a thoughtful, emotionally rich exploration of love, identity, and what it means to truly feel alive. Axel Farden is not just releasing music—he’s building worlds, one perfectly crafted song at a time.
