‘Creed II’ is easily one of the year’s most anticipated movies and its musical component has us even more buzzed.

The boxing flick, which sees Michael B. Jordan return as lead Apollo Creed, will be paired with a total knockout of a soundtrack.

Aiming for a knockout, Mike WiLL Made-It has lined up an all-star cast for ‘Creed II: The Album’ – a collection he’s producing.

With the set seemingly taking a cue from the Kendrick Lamar “curated” ‘Black Panther: The Album,’ it’s fitting that K.Dot is one of the superstar names appearing on the project.

Joining him are the likes of Nicki Minaj, J. Cole, Lil Wayne, Ella, Mai, and many more!

Michael B. Jordan kicked off 2018 with a ‘Black Panther’ sized bang and is closing it on an equally notable level.
