Every Nigger Is A Star - Original Sound Track

This soundtrack serves as a bold, heavy-hitting piece of Jamaican cinema history that remains deeply influential today. Its title track gained a massive second life decades later when it was famously sampled for the opening of Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly.

Deep, gritty basslines define the sound here, blending raw reggae rhythms with the slick, cinematic funk textures popular in the early 1970s. The record captures a specific, soulful tension that feels like a direct reflection of the urban Jamaican landscape during that era.
