The Soundtrack for “Gully” film releases today.
The film “Gully” which opened at the Tribeca Film Festival a couple of years ago, hits theatres today. The movie comes along with an official star-studded soundtrack. The album contains 8 tracks with guest appearances from Don Toliver, 2 Chainz, 21 Savage, ScHoolboy Q, Dua Lipa, Miguel, and more.
Nabil, the famous music video filmmaker who also acts as the soundtrack’s executive producer, makes his feature picture directing debut with Gully. Kelvin Harrison Jr., Charlie Plummer, and Jacob Latimore appear in the picture, which will be released in theatres on Friday. On June 8, the film will be accessible on VOD. There is also a retail store for the film, with all revenues going to the Surf Bus Foundation. Gully chronicles the lives of three disgruntled adolescents in Los Angeles, highlighting the difficulties faced by America’s disadvantaged young. Kelvin Harrison Jr., Charlie Plummer, and Jacob Latimore feature in the film, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2019.
The nine-song soundtrack features a new single from 21 Savage called “Betrayed,” which will launch on Friday (June 4) with a visual directed by Nabil, alongside a new Dua Lipa track, “Can They Hear Us.” Ty Dolla $ign, Schoolboy Q and B-Real have teamed up for “Blacks n Mexicans.” The soundtrack also features music from Snoh Aalegra, Gary Clark Jr., 2 Chainz, Don Toliver, Sleepy Rose, Mike Will Made-It, and Buddy.
Nabil spoke with Complex’s khal about the film and accompanying soundtrack. “Most of the songs were made for the film,” he explained. “I’m so grateful to have been able to work with these artists, and then for them to come back and bless me. It’s overwhelming.” You can read the full interview here.
“Gully” is directed by Nabil Elderkin and it shows three friends from a rough LA neighborhood embark on a wild night out.
Nabil’s big-screen directorial debut, “Gully,” opens in theatres on June 4 and on VOD on June 8, and he also executive produces the soundtrack. Nabil is no stranger to working with A-list musicians; the mononymous cinematographer and photographer have created music videos for Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Frank Ocean, and Arctic Monkeys over the years.
