Mike WiLL Made-It has been put in charge of the Creed II soundtrack. According to Variety, the acclaimed producer has curated the music for the highly anticipated sequel to Creed.
“I approached the music by first watching Creed II and then creating a playlist of songs people could work out to, chill to, vibe to or to get them through any struggle which matched specific scenes in the movie,” Mike WiLL told Variety. “It’s important to show the new generation that soundtracks can be just as exciting as traditional albums if put in the hands of the right curator. After people hear the music, I want them to say movie soundtracks are back.”
