Skepta, the late Pop Smoke as well as A$AP Rocky, have collaborated for Fast and Furious 9’s latest realsease. The track is titled ‘Lane Switcha’ and was released along with the rest of the films entire soundtrack on June 18th.
The ninth part of the Fast and Furious franchise is set to be released in the UK on June 24th – a date sooner than expected since it was moved from the original July 8th date. The soundtrack for the new Fast and Furious film, directed by Justine Lin, includes artists such as British hip hop and grime artist Skepta.
Skepta is not the only artist involved in the mix of musical talent supporting the film with the single ‘Lane Switcha’. The single also involves names such as A$AP Rocky, Juicy J and Project Pat. Other than the single, the entire soundtrack to the new and upcoming film boasts artist such as Offset, Trippie Redd, Ty Dolla $ig , Lil Durk, The Prodigy and RZA. Safe to say the least, the soundtrack has made the film highly anticipated.
Not only will the soundtrack draw in a wide-ranging audience from individuals who are interested in artists such as Skepta. The single also represents yet another collaboration of Skepta with world renowned artists such as Rocky and Pop Smoke. Skepta previously paired with Rocky for ‘Praise the lord (Da Shine)’ and with Pop Smoke for ‘Show Out’. The Fast and Furious single ‘Lane Switcha’ is also the latest out of other posthumous releases from Pop Smoke, who sadly died back in 2020.
The single ‘Lane Switcha‘ for Fast and Furious 9 have reminded fans of the previous reign of artists such as Skepta. Back in 2020 the rappers studio album ‘Insomnia‘ reached critical acclaim. In a review from The Guardian it was stated that ‘Insomnia‘ – “feels calibrated for the current, strange cultural moment: it’s immediately available, rides low at a tempo that’s perfect for listening to while on lockdown in your house or car, and, with the title Insomnia, tackles paranoid themes with the light relief of dark humour“. It will be interesting to see what 2021 brings for artists such as Skepta and A$AP Rocky.
