Check out the new single “Pray For Me” from the “Black Panther” soundtrack featuring Academy® Award-nominated, GRAMMY®Award-winning multiplatinum maverick The Weeknd and international GRAMMY®Award-winning superstar Kendrick Lamar.

The song comes fresh off the heels of Lamar’s five wins at the 2018 Grammy Awards, including Best Rap Album, Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song, Best Music Video and Best Rap/Sung Performance and The Weeknd’s win for Best Urban Contemporary album, the only artist to win the award twice.

The album pre-order unlocks instant downloads of “Pray For Me,” as well tunes from Jay Rock, Future and James Blake for “King’s Dead” and Kendrick Lamar and SZA for “All The Stars.” Platinum-selling, twelve-time Grammy-award winning Lamar is regarded as one of the most important, critically acclaimed and creatively inventive artists globally, and this album further proves these accolades.

The “Black Panther” album arrives in stores and at all digital retailers on February 9, while the movie opens in theaters everywhere February 16.
