Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams and producer Mike WiLL Made-It have teamed up for a new track.

“The Matra” – which you can listen to below – has been made for upcoming sequel to the Michael B Jordan-starring Rocky film, Creed.

The film’s soundtrack has been executive produced by Mike WiLL Made-It, who previously worked with Lamar on the Damn track “Humble,” “DNA,” and “XXX.”

Directed by The Land’s Steven Caple Jr, the sequel also features songs performed by Bon Iver, Vince Staples, Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj.

Lamar recently featured on the Anderson .Paak track “Tints,” while Williams can currently be heard in cinemas as the narrator of The Grinch.

Creed II also stars Sylvester Stallone, Tessa Thompson and Dolph Lundgren. Stallone reprises his iconic role as Robert “Rocky” Balboa, while Jordan returns as Adonis “Donnie” Creed, the son of Apollo Creed, who was played by Carl Weathers in the Rocky films. Watch the trailer here.
