The Fast X music supervisor hit a randomizer button to select the soundtrack’s featured artists. It’s looking a lot like Via — a rideshare company somewhere between Uber and the bus that carts around a van full of random passengers — for global musicians. Chart topping K-pop star Jimin of BTS hopped on “Angel, Pt. 1†together with Kodak Black, who is still getting jobs for some reason, “Hrs & Hrs†hitmaker Muni Long, singer-songwriter JVKE, and rapper NLE Choppa. Fast X released the piano-heavy trap tearjerker on streaming services on May 18, alongside the star-studded music video. The visuals contain portraits of the song’s featured artists — with Jimin belting on a rooftop at dawn and Muni Long on a different rooftop at night. There are also fast-looking cars, but we are not vehicular experts.
Earlier this year, the film dropped three other tracks. Ty Dolla $ign, YG, and Lambo4oe add their talents to “Let’s Ride,†which samples the Notorious B.I.G. and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s 1997 banger “Notorious Thugs.†New Zealand phonk-rap artist Sxmpra teams up with Fast X for his own version of “Let’s Ride! (Drift Phonk),†while a grab bag of musicians — rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Irish singer Dermot Kennedy, and country artist Bailey Zimmerman — perform “Won’t Back Down.†Next up, probably: Fireboy DML, Jawsh 685, and retired Oscar-winning musician Brie Larson.
