There Are Two New A$AP Rocky Tracks on the 'Highest 2 Lowest' Soundtrack

Overview

  • A$AP Rocky released “Trunks” and “Both Eyes Closed” today on the Highest 2 Lowest soundtrack, coinciding with Spike Lee’s crime drama opening in theaters on August 15.
  • Spike Lee personally curated the 19-track album and highlighted emerging artists like Aiyana-Lee, Jensen McRae and Eddie Palmieri whom he discovered on social media.
  • Both songs were recorded with UK producer Kelvin Krash and may be delivered in character as Rocky’s on-screen persona, Yung Felon.
  • “Trunks” functions as an integral plot device in the movie while “Both Eyes Closed” offers a more introspective commentary on societal issues.
  • An extended score by Howard Drossin and an EP from the Fergus McCreadie trio complete the soundtrack before the film arrives on Apple TV+ in the coming weeks.
