The movie American Gangster debuted at #1 at the box office. If you enjoyed the movie you may want to pick up the American Gangster soundtrack. The soundtrack is a compilation of the music featured in the movie. The disc opens up with the first single “Do You Feel Me,” performed by Anthony Hamilton. Anthony Hamilton offers two songs on the disc. He is also featured on the song “Stone Cold.”

If you’ve seen the movie, you know that it takes place primarily in the 1970’s. Expect a soundtrack that evokes that era.

Hank Shocklee (http://www.shocklee.com)of The Bomb Squad production team (Public Enemy, Slick Rick), has three songs on the American Gangster soundtrack. The Public Enemy classic song “Can’t Trust It,” is also featured on the soundtrack.

The American Gangster Soundtrack features old school classics from Sam & Dave, John Lee Hooker, and the classic Staples Sisters song “I’ll Take You There.”

The American Gangster Soundtrack is a perfect companion to the film. The soundtrack is not to be confused with the Jay-Z album American Gangster, which isn’t related to the film or the soundtrack.
