Soundtrack - New Jack City (1991)

"New Jack City" is the original soundtrack to the 1991 Mario Van Peebles' hit movie New Jack City released by Giant Records through Reprise Records and distributed by Warner Bros. Records. The soundtrack consists of eleven original songs, most of which were performed by chart-topping R&B and hip-hop artists of the time.
The music is heavily influenced by the New Jack Swing genre of R&B. Prominent artists and producers of the New Jack Swing era contributed to the soundtrack, including Guy with Teddy Riley, Keith Sweat, Color Me Badd, and Johnny Gill; Al B. Sure! produced the track "Get It Together," performed by F.S. Effect.
The Troop/LeVert/Queen Latifah song was a medley of The O'Jays' "For the Love of Money" and Stevie Wonder's "Living for the City" (The O'Jays' lead singer is Eddie Levert, the father of two members of the group LeVert).
