Next month, we’re going to get to see an especially jacked Michael B. Jordan battle an even-more-jacked Jonathan Majors. That’s going to be sick. Creed III, directed by Jordan himself, is coming to theaters, and it’s going to have a soundtrack from J. Cole’s Dreamville crew.
The first Creed, from 2015, didn’t have any Rocky-movie anthems on the extent of “Gonna Fly Now” or “Eye Of The Tiger,” but it surely did have that scene of Michael B. Jordan working in sluggish movement whereas dust bikes pop wheelies behind him and Meek Mill blasts on the soundtrack, and that was lots. For the soundtrack of 2018’s Creed II, Mike Will Made-It served as govt producer. The Creed III soundtrack has Dreamville in that exec-producer position, and it’ll characteristic artists from the label.
First single “Ma Boy” is a showcase for JID, the good Atlanta rapper who made an enormous leap along with his 2022 album The Forever Story, and Charlotte native Lute. Time will inform if it’ll function this franchise’s “Eye Of The Tiger,” however any excuse to listen to JID rapping is an effective one. Check it out under.
Creed III arrives in theaters 3/3, and the soundtrack is out the identical day.
