(PR) Bad Boy Records has announced the upcoming release of "Notorious: Music From And Inspired By The Original Motion Picture." The musical companion to the Fox Searchlight motion picture event features Notorious B.I.G. classics like "Juicy" and "Hypnotize" alongside never-before-released demos and new tracks by some of hip-hop's biggest stars, including Jay-Z and Jadakiss. The album arrives in stores and online on January 13th, while Notorious hits theatres nationwide on January 16th.
The "Notorious" soundtrack is heralded by the Kanye West-produced single, "Brooklyn Go Hard," performed by Jay-Z and featuring Santogold. The track has just shipped to multi-format radio outlets across the country, including Urban, Rhythmic, and Mixshow.
Furthermore, the soundtrack showcases an additional single, "Letter to B.I.G." by Jadakiss (Feat. Faith Evans). Other highlights of the album include a new version of the Notorious B.I.G. milestone, "One More Chance/The Legacy (Remix)," featuring CJ Wallace and Faith Evans.
But at the heart of the soundtrack is the everlasting music of the Notorious B.I.G. Among the classics included on the collection are "Warning," "One More Chance/Stay With Me Remix," and "Kick In The Door" (see attached tracklisting). The album is highlighted by a number of previously unreleased demos, including "Microphone Murderer" and "Guaranteed Raw," as well as the Notorious B.I.G.'s first-ever officially released track, "Party and Bullsh**," (originally found the soundtrack to the 1993 film, Who's The Man?).
A special edition of "Notorious: Music From And Inspired By The Original Motion Picture" will be available exclusively at Target stores nationwide. The two-disc set includes an all-new documentary DVD,
Remembering Christopher Wallace, featuring exclusive, never-before-seen private interviews with the family members who carry on the Notorious B.I.G.'s memory, including his mother, daughter, and son.
