The soundtrack’s executive producer raps decadence with an assist from DiCaprio’s Gatsby.
On ‘100$ Bills’, Jay-Z mixes the Roaring Twenties, tales of drug-dealing, and clips from The Great Gatsby over a rollicking beat by E*Vax, one half of electro-rap production duo Ratatat. Jay keeps it one hundred (as the kids say) with a flow reminiscent of Travis Porter’s ‘Make It Rain’.
Listen to ‘100$ Bills’ and the rest of Music From Baz Luhrmann’s Film The Great Gatsby over at NPR. Previously premiered tracks by Beyoncé and André 3000, The xx, Lana Del Rey, and more feature. It has been reported that Jack White’s Third Man imprint will handle the soundtrack’s deluxe vinyl edition.
