ComingSoon is pleased to present an exclusive track from The Underdoggs – Original Motion Picture Score with music by Joseph Shirley (The Mandalorian). Listen to the track, titled “The Underdoggs Suite” below. Lakeshore Records will release the complete score digitally on Friday, February 2.
“Creating the score for The Underdoggs was an absolute joy. The movie touches on so many different emotional landscapes that our director, Charles Stone III, and I hoped to evoke sonically as well – with groove-based hip hop, triumphant orchestral flourishes, slanky horn and rhythm sections, and emotive landscapes,” says Shirley. “The gametime areas of the movie were especially fun to craft with Charles – to amplify the grit and the glory, the victory and defeat of youth football, as if the score was a teammate alongside our Underdoggs on the gridiron.”
Jaycen “Two Js” Jennings (Snoop Dogg) is a washed-up ex-professional football star who has hit rock bottom. When Jaycen is sentenced to community service coaching the Underdoggs, an unruly pee-wee football team in his hometown of Long Beach, California, he sees it as an opportunity to rebuild his public image and turn his life around. As Jaycen works to transform the foul-mouthed Underdoggs into top-notch champions, he reconnects with his past, including an old flame and few of his ex-teammates and rediscovers his love of the game. The film is Rated R for pervasive language, sexual references, drug use and some underage drinking.
