A Space Jam: A New

Legacy (Original

Motion Picture

Soundtrack)

Various Artists

A quarter-century after the original Space

Jam movie arrived with its now-iconic

soundtrack, that album’s spiritual successor

now attempts to score a similar slam dunk –

with Saweetie, Brockhampton, Lil Baby and

SZA all contributing to this very hip-hop-

infused release.

FIVE FACTS:

1. The original Space Jam’s soundtrack “came
   at a time when soundtracks for movies were
   just exploding,” A New Legacy director
   Malcolm D. Lee reflected to Rolling Stone.


2. He particularly made note of that album’s
   “hip-hop and R&B”, adding that it gave his
   team “a high bar to reach.”


3. That album was also a big seller, going
   six-times platinum.


4. Lil Baby and Kirk Franklin were responsible
   for the New Legacy soundtrack’s first
   single “We Win”, which reached the summit
   of the Billboard Hot Gospel Songs chart.


5. Not too long afterwards, SZA and SAINt
   JHN shared their own collaboration “Just for
   Me” from the new soundtrack.
