DJ Muggs Scores 'Street Kings' Film, Preps New Albums
By Ronnie Gamble ♦ Published 03/05/2008

Producer and Cypress Hill member, DJ Muggs, has scored the upcoming David Ayer-directed movie, "Street Kings," which hits theaters in April.

Muggs, who has produced countless classics for his ground Cypress Hill and the Soul Assassins collective, seemed to take to the film scoring arena quite easily. With the help of the directors and producers, he was able to deliver exactly what everyone wanted.

"The main difference from scoring and making records is that in scoring the music can't loop. You gotta build, take away and add changes constantly as each frame changes," explained Muggs of the film scoring process. "The other difference is that when I make music, I only have to answer to me. This time I had the director and the producers and the studio Fox Searchlight. You have to make sure they get their vision across as well as the energy and emotion they want in the sound of their film. I'm here for that purpose."

"Street Kings" stars Keanu Reeves, playing veteran LAPD Vice Detective Tom Ludlow, who is on the hunt to find the killers of his former partner. Reeves' co-star, Forrest Whitaker, plays Captain Wander, his supervisor, who tries to keep Ludlow in line and away from Captain Biggs of Internal Affairs (played by Hugh Laurie).

Rappers, The Game and Common, also have roles as well.

The film is slated to hit theaters on April 11.

In addition to scoring the film, DJ Muggs is also working on his highly anticipated compilation album, Soul Assassins III, as well as DJ Muggs Vs. Planet Asia, a concept album that has the producer providing his signature dark, head-nodding soundscapes for the prolific MC.
