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.

Hip Hop’s conscious superhero OSVN brings listeners a gripping shock while exposing society in his new single “Long Live The Cow.” Prolific wordplay looped with harsh truths steers the record. Before pressing play, read more below.
“Long Live the Cow” is a sharp, thought-provoking critique of modern society, where the unnatural has become normal, and where once-sacred truths are traded for synthetic solutions. OSVN confronts the distorted realities of our time: artificial food, corrupt politics, misleading education, and spiritual misdirection.
The cow—an animal held sacred in many cultures—is symbolic here. In America, it has been exploited and slaughtered, just like the people. Now, in a world driven by profit and progress, even the cow is being reengineered; Printed, cloned, and served up without soul.
This song is not just about meat. It’s about meaning. It’s about asking, are these modern practices healing us or harming us? Are we evolving—or erasing ourselves?
