There was never a question as to whether I would compose the score and write and perform on the soundtrack, as well as write and direct the movie. It was all one amazing journey where one depended on the other. But I also worked with the most awesome artists on our track \u2018Hallelujah Heaven.\u2019 Collaborating with Lil\u2019 Wayne, Buju Banton and Shabba Ranks was so dope; I loved getting them all on the same track.\u201d<\/p>\n
