Of course, with a ’90s-set film, Rise of the Beasts needs a soundtrack to match. Check out the full track list for the Rise of the Beasts soundtrack, below!

 Paramount has revealed the first song from the soundtrack, an original production from Tobe Nwigwe, Nas, and Jacob Banks called “On My Soul.” Now, ComicBook.com can reveal the rest of the official Rise of the Beasts soundtrack, and it’s full of hip-hop classics from the ’90s.

Wu-Tang Clan’s “C.R.E.A.M.” is the first major track on the album, and it sets the tone for the rest of the lineup. The soundtrack includes A Tribe Called Quest’s “Check the Rhime,” Black Sheep’s “The Choice Is Yours,” LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out,” and “Hypnotize” by Notorious B.I.G.
