SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Only King James (aka LeBron
James) could bring together three kings of hip-hop and one of the hottest new
emcees in the game. "Forever," the new single from the forthcoming album MUSIC
INSPIRED BY THE FILM MORE THAN A GAME, headlines rising star Drake and
features Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem in a song about endurance and
staying power. "Forever," produced by Boi-1da, will be available at iTunes
September 15th. MUSIC INSPIRED BY THE FILM MORE THAN A GAME (Harvey Mason
Music/Zone 4/Interscope Records) will be released September 29th.
Earlier issued from the album was the heartfelt, richly textured ballad
"Stronger" from Mary J. Blige. Among the other tracks are "History," produced
by Kanye West, from rap giant Jay-Z; "I'm Ballin'" from young sensation Soulja
Boy Tell'Em; "King On Set" from T.I. featuring Young Dro; and "Drop It Low,"
the debut single from one of today's most sought after songwriters, Ester Dean
(Mary J. Blige, Pussycat Dolls, Keri Hilson), which features Chris Brown. Also
heard are "Top Of The World" (Rich Boy), "We Ready" (Ya Boy), "Go Hard"
(Hayes), Frozen (Jared Evans) and "If You Dream," with its impressive lineup
of Tank, Tyrese, Toni Braxton, Jordin Sparks, Omarion, Faith Evans, JoJo,
Charlie Wilson, Tamar Braxton and Steven Russel, produced by Harvey Mason Jr.
(whose credits include Beyonce, Chris Brown, Whitney Houston, and Jennifer
Hudson).
MORE THAN A GAME, from Lionsgate and Harvey Mason Media in association with
Interscope Records, opens in Los Angeles, New York and Cleveland on October
2nd. Five talented young basketball players from Akron, Ohio star in this
remarkable true-life coming of age story about friendship and loyalty in the
face of great adversity. Coached by a charismatic but inexperienced player's
father, and led by future NBA superstar LeBron James, the Fab Five's
improbable nine-year journey leads them from a decrepit inner-city gym to the
doorstep of a national high school championship. Along the way, the close-knit
team is repeatedly tested - both on and off the court - as pressures within,
including James' exploding worldwide celebrity, threaten to destroy everything
they've set out to achieve together. MORE THAN A GAME, directed by Kristopher
Belman, combines a series of unforgettable one-on-one interviews with rare
news footage, never-before-seen home videos and personal family photographs to
bring this heart-wrenching and wholly American story to life.
