| | Cradle 2 The Grave Soundtrack CD (23 Customer Reviews)
Original score composed by John Frizzell and Damon "Grease" Blackman.
CRADLE 2 THE GRAVE, which features "music from and inspired by" the action film of the same name, is a tough, well-put-together collection of aggressive East Coast hip-hop that perfectly mirrors the gritty urban setting of the movie. The disc opens with a ferocious duo of tracks featuring DMX (who stars in CRADLE TO THE GRAVE with martial arts master Jet Li). "X Gonna Give It To Ya" is classic DMX: all rough, snarling vocals, rock-hard beats, and plenty of barking. "Go To Sleep," a collaborative effort with Eminem, is a brutal, cinematic gangsta track that may shock those only familiar with the rapper's poppier side.
There's also Foxy Brown's "My Life," which chillingly examines hip-hop's blurring of fantasy and reality when it comes to violence, and "What's It All For" by Bazaar Royale, which uses a heavy guitar sample from neo-grunge rockers CKY, recalling Public Enemy's classic early-'90s collaborations with Anthrax. Unlike many soundtrack albums, which appear to be cobbled together simply to make a few extra bucks, CRADLE 2 THE GRAVE is an extremely cohesive album and may even emerge as a more substantial work than the film itself.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No great mix!
It’s good to see DMX back in the mix. He’s one of only a few rappers today that has that raspy voice that commands attention. He gets thins going on the soundtrack’s single ‘X Gon’ Give It To Ya’. Solid track overall – good hook, lyrics, beat, and overall production. DMX is featured on four of the 19 tracks on this album. Track 2 is a personal favorite of mine. It features an Eminem, Obie Trice, and DMX collaboration that will hype up any crowd and it even makes reference to Ja Rule, whom the Shady Records camp and DMX have been feuding with these past months. These three rappers do an excellent job complementing each other on this high-energy track. Foxy Brown, Joe Budden, M.O.P., 50 Cent, are also featured on this soundtrack. It’ll be sure to give you that those raw vocals you’ve been looking for. One of the few soundtracks I have picked up in a long time.
