The soundtrack is also peppered with dynamic, symphonic grandness. The legendary Barrington Levy makes an appearance with “Better Than Gold.” “Black Woman” with Fatoumata Diawara has a strong message of empowerment that’s further enhanced by Hill, whose rap verse scoffs at those who tried to ruin her career and her refusal to sell out. There are several dancehall and reggae-inspired tracks throughout the soundtrack, such as the title track that features Koffee singing over reggae rhythms with machine-gun snare march beats.
