Super Soundtrack: “BMF” on STARZ

BMF (Black Mafia Family) recently premiered on STARZ, and the series is inspired by the true story of two brothers who rose from the decaying streets of southwest Detroit in the lates 1980s and gave birth to one of the most influential crime families in this country.

From executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson (Power, Power Book II: Ghost, For Life) and writer/executive producer Randy Huggins (Star, Rebel, Power), the show stars Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr., the son of Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, Da’Vinchi, Russell Hornsby, Michole Briana White, Ajiona Alexus, Eric Kofi Abrefa Myles Truitt and Steve Harris. Snoop Dogg, Arkeisha “Kash Doll” Knight, Wood Harris, and La La Anthony also appear in recurring roles.

With a show set in Detroit, an influential city in rap history, as well as a few musically-involved actor-rappers, the soundtrack reflects that in its variety of music. Let’s dive into the soundtrack…
