Bushwick is an upcoming film co-directed by Cary Murnion and Jonathan Milott and starring Dave Bautista and Brittany Snow. Today, it has been announced that Aesop Rock has provided the original score and music for the film.
Here's the film's description, from a press release:
Bushwick tells the story of twenty-year-old Lucy (Snow) and war veteran Stupe (Bautista). Texas is trying to secede from the U.S., and NYC is being used as a negotiation tool. Lucy meets Stupe after coming up from the subway into the military invasion of Brooklyn. Together they decide to cross the treacherous five blocks of Bushwick – littered with looters, local militias, the invading forces, and one crazy cousin - in order to get home and be reunited with Lucy’s grandmother.
In a press release, Murnion said:
We are beyond excited to have this chance to work with Aesop Rock! We've been fans of his since his seminal EP Appleseed. Labor Days is one of our all time favorite records. Bazooka Tooth, None Shall Pass and Skelethon are each such special records, and we listened to the instrumental of "Bestiary" (from his Hail Mary Mallon project) on repeat while we prepped for shooting Bushwick. Aesop keeps on blowing us away with his profound lyrics and music he composes for each new record, which is why when we were thinking of someone to score Bushwick we immediately thought of him.
Aesop Rock's last solo album was 2012's Skelethon. He released the Lice EP with Homeboy Sandman earlier this year.
