Before Marvel and Walt Disney Studios releases the highly anticipated Black Panther into theaters, Kendrick Lamar will be producing and curating the official movie soundtrack. Check out the lead single from the action/adventure film starring the popular Marvel superhero starring Chadwick Boseman.

As we previously mentioned, after the events of Captain America: Civil War, King T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) returns home to Wakanda to serve as his country’s new leader. Before he can sit on the throne, T’Challa is challenged from factions within his own country. When two enemies conspire to destroy Wakanda, Black Panther must team up with C.I.A. agent Everett K. Ross and members of the Dora Milaje, the Wakanadan special forces. They have to prevent Wakanda from being dragged into a world war.

1) The Lyrics!



Tell me what you gonna do to me

Confrontation ain’t nothin’ new to me

You can bring a bullet, bring a sword

Bring a morgue, but you can’t bring the truth to me

Black Panther arrives in theaters everywhere February 16, 2018. The soundtrack will be due out on February 9.
