The soundtrack for the 2018 crime film Superfly was curated by American rapper Future, who also acted as a producer on the film. It features guest appearances from Miguel, Lil Wayne, Khalid, Young Thug, PartyNextDoor, H.E.R., Gunna, Sleepy Brown, and Yung Bans, among others.[1]

Background and release

In an interview with AllHipHop, the film's director Director X stated,

I wanted the current sound of Atlanta, so I hunted [Future] down. We were doing the Gap commercial with him and Cher. I normally don't mix things up, but we just started talking about [working on Superfly] on set.[2]

On June 15, 2018, the second half of the album was released with an addition of ten tracks.[3]

Singles

Future released the first single for the album, "No Shame" featuring PartyNextDoor, on May 4, 2018, as the lead single.[4] A second song by Future featuring Yung Bans called "Bag" was released later in the month, as the lead promotional single.[5] On June 5, 2018, "This Way" by Khalid and H.E.R. was released as the album's second promotional single,[6] followed by "Walk On Minks" by Future on June 6, 2018, as the third promotional single. The album was released on June 8, 2018.[6]
