“Kicks” follows 15-year-old Brandon, played by Jahking Guillory, who finds himself in the deep end as he hunts down his new, high-end sneakers after they’re stolen by a neighborhood gang. The soundtrack sports hip-hop tracks from classic artists such as Wu-Tang Clan and Mac Dre, as well as newer artists like Iamsu! and RJD2. Brian Reitzell, a veteran of film soundtracks from his extensive work with Sofia Coppola, contributes a number of songs, including “Kitchen Astronaut” featuring Guillory. The tracklist is rounded out by Bay Area singer-songwriter Marc E. Bassy and classic funk artist Charles Bradley, who has included one of his more recent tracks. The soundtrack should complement the film’s authentic look at masculinity, pop-culture, and coming-of-age in the inner city.

The “Kicks” soundtrack will be released September 9 on Back Lot Music, the same day the film hits theaters.
