There’s been a whole lot of stir around the release of Dope; a coming of age tale that revolves around a group of friends and their shared reverence for early ‘90s hip-hop. But with a plot (and title for that matter) like that, the score has got to be just as on-point. And while we’ve long known Pharrell would be at the helm as musical director for the flick, today we’re finally getting a taste of the sounds that will accompany the scenes. The soundtrack features a bevy of classic cuts that bring this new-age backpacker scheme to life, including tracks by Digable Planets, A Tribe Called Quest,Nas, Gil Scott-Heron and even a few original compositions from Skateboard P under the alias of Awreeoh. Dope hits silver screens tomorrow at midnight, but is already screening in select theaters across the country. So Get yourself ready for the dope-ness by listening to the soundtrack below, follow through by actually seeing the critically acclaimed film in theaters this weekend and watch out for cameos from A$AP Rocky,Vince Staples and Casey Veggies. Grab a copy of the soundtrack on iTunes today and let all of the nostalgic reverie commence.
