Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar and Future join forces on Top Dawg produced track from Black Panther soundtrack

“King’s Dead” by Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future & James Blake

From the Top Dawg Entertainment produced album for the upcoming Marvel film Black Panther, the bass-heavy track features rap powerhouses Kendrick Lamar, Future and Jay Rock. Lamar takes the lead on the chorus, followed by Jay Rock’s biting verse in which he references Top Dawg’s boss moves and is speculated to take some shots and Detroit rapper Big Sean.

Future follows next, joining Lamar on the chorus and then transitioning to the bridge with Jay Rock in which they pay homage to hip-hop staples like “La Di Da Di” by Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick.

The beat then shifts as Lamar finishes out the song with a vicious verse with references to the movie’s villain, Killmonger, while James Blake’s vocals swirl with car tire screeches in background.

Black Panther will be in theaters on Feb. 16.
