Black Panther is nearing its final days until premiere and the build up is at one of the highest ever for a film of its caliber.
The much awaited Marvel film, directed by Ryan Coogler has already broken presale records for any Marvel movie in history. According to Fandango, Black Panther is already a top seller; presale and current, even exceeding sales for movies that are already in theaters at the moment. This has been in big part due to numerous campaigns that have given incentive for the community to make sure the youth can see this positive representation of culture (myself included, for the kids).
Also, Kung-Fu Kenny is blessing the Wakanda airwaves as well.
Kendrick Lamar and Top Dawg founder Anthony Tiffith are the masterminds behind the Black Panther: The Album Soundtrack, which features some huge bangers from Future, 2 Chainz, SZA, Khalid, Ab-Soul, Jorja Smith, and the Weeknd.
“All the Stars” featuring Kendrick and SZA was released last month and the follow up single for the soundtrack is called “Pray for Me” which includes a collaboration with K.Dot and The Weeknd. The vibes of “Pray For Me” gives that methodical feel of The Weeknd’s vocals with Kendrick lamenting the track with some quality bars that would make T’Challa proud. Super addictive track.
