American Gangster Soundtrack*

Edit your station name:

The AMERICAN GANGSTER album features classic blues, R&B, soul and hip-hop tracks from Anthony Hamilton, Lowell Fulson, John Lee Hooker, Bobby Womack, Sam & Dave, the Staple Singers, and Public Enemy, plus new cuts by composer Marc Streitenfeld and by DJ-turned-producer Hank Shocklee, who was extensively involved with the project.

In addition to the four original pieces that Shocklee co-wrote and produced under his own name, he also produced both new tracks by Anthony Hamilton (the single "Do You Feel Me" and "Stone Cold") as well as Public Enemy's Def Jam classic of 1991, "Can't Truss It." As a member of the original Bomb Squad production team (with his brother Keith, Public Enemy's Chuck D, and Eric 'Vietnam' Sadler) Shocklee was at the boards for some of rap and hip-hop's greatest Def Jam releases by Public Enemy, LL Cool J, 3rd Bass, EPMD, Slick Rick, Alyson Williams, and others; as well as records by such varied names as Run-DMC, Sinéad O'Connor, Bell Biv Devoe, Peter Gabriel, Ice Cube, and Yoko Ono.
