Soundtrack will be famously big
All the bad boys will be hanging together this summer. Bad Boy Entertainment CEO Sean “P. Diddy” Combs will launch his new deal with Universal Records with the superstar-studded soundtrack to the Will Smith/Martin Lawrence film Bad Boys 2.
Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Notorious B.I.G., Justin Timberlake, Nelly, Mary J. Blige, Lenny Kravitz, BeyoncÈ Knowles, Pharrell Williams, Loon, Fat Joe, Foxy Brown, Mario Winans and Smith are all part of the lineup.
The album hits stores July 15, three days before the movie arrives in theaters.
In the movie, Smith and Lawrence reprise their roles as detectives from their 1995 hit, this time investigating a vicious Miami drug kingpin.
The soundtrack’s lead singles will be Jay-Z’s La La La (Excuse Me Again) and P. Diddy’s collaboration with Nelly and Murphy Lee of the St. Lunatics on Shake Your Tail Feather. Videos are being shot for both.
The soundtrack also will be the only place that fans can find the underground hit The Realest, featuring 50 Cent and Notorious B.I.G.
“This is my first album with the new venture and I wanted to come out with a big bang,” says Combs, who signed with Universal in February, eight months after ending his longtime partnership with Arista.
“Out of the top 20 artists in the industry, I probably have 70% of them on the soundtrack,” Combs says.
