Spike Lee's Chi-Raq has already ignited a lot of conversation based on its trailer alone, and while advance screenings have already taken place, the world won't have an opinion until this Friday when it gets a wide release.
At one point it was rumored that Kanye West would be involved in the soundtrack of the film, and while it's still possible he had a hand in it somewhere, his name is not among the artists featured on the tracklist.
Still, it's an impressive roster of artists including Chicagoans R. Kelly, Tink and Jennifer Hudson (who appears in the film), as well as Jhene Aiko and Nick Cannon (who also has a large role).
