As reported by RollingStone, the director revealed, "That's when soundtracks for movies are exploding, especially when it comes to African-American music — hip-hop and R&B. So I would say we have a high standard to live up to."
Space Jam: A New Legacy is an update of the original 1996 film and stars basketball legend Michael Jordan. While Space Jam 2 will star today's NBA, LeBron James along with voice actors such as Zendaya, Don Cheadle, Jim Cummings, and other famous artists.
It seems that not only the players, but also the soundtrack, starting with Lil Baby, Kirk Fanklin, Chance the Rapper, Saweetie, John Legend, Jonas Brothers, and many other famous musicians.
Director Lee explained, "The music we make for the film should be in the body of the film. So that's what we always strive for."
The Space Jam 2 soundtrack album is now available for pre-order. Interestingly, every song on this album is not only inspired by the movie Space Jam: A New Legacy, but these songs will definitely be heard in the actual movie, which will be shown from July 16.
The struggle to make this soundtrack was not easy because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Teams from Warner Brothers and Republic Records had to coordinate with filmmakers, musicians, and directors. The manufacturing process begins in February 2020.
