Hardball is movie
starring Keanu Reeves that depicts
him becoming in unlikely role as a baseball coach to small group Underachieving
Chicago Little Leaguers. The films overall appeal will evidently showcase its
musical prowess to the large Nickelodeon
audience that movie will capture. In reference to its riveting motion picture
soundtrack.
As with all urban soundtracks its creative base predominately with one main
producer that evolves around the compilation. Which results into a infusion of
a new artists, spirited club joints and infectious remixes. With the one and
only Jermaine Dupri being signature
album producer and songwriter, expect bona fide dance floor tracks with high
tempo grooves. Seemingly, JD’s
presences and talents showcases So So
Def‘s conventional dynasty of performers that will be exposed throughout Hardball.
Starting with the high-spirited lead off single Hardball by young phenoms Lil’ Bow Wow, Lil’ Zane, Lil’ Wayne and Sammie. Without doubt, this single is the stand out cut of this
soundtrack release, beyond obvious proven hits already featured on the album. Hardball significantly flows with Hip
Hop classic Big Poppa and the remix
of summer smash hit Where The Party At.
Honorable mentions will be concluded with club tracks Ghetto by RL and
introducing an artist named Fundisha
with the Whoa-glaced track called Insomnia.
Unfortunately certain hip hop perfectionists do fall off and encounter creative
mishaps in the midst of all chronicles of musical production. In accordance,
this soundtrack contains noticeable flaw, which would be the puzzling addition
of Mobb Deep‘s Play and You Can’t Break Me
by the Big Tymers. Compared to the
other top notch song on Hardball
roster, these tracks definitely could have been arguably remove from the press
machine.
Hardball is solid and gratifying
soundtrack for any commercial musical listener or R & B music collector.
With positivity being the overall constructive theme to this current album. Jermaine Dupri illustrates that he has
remained as one of urban music’s multi-tasking performers in Hip Hop game.
