Sean Paul, Shenseea Are On The ‘Bad Boys: Ride Or Die’ Soundtrack
Jamaican artists Sean Paul and Shenseea are featured on the official soundtrack for the upcoming Bad Boys: Ride Or Die film. The movie, which stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, will be released in the United States on June 7.
Paul will appear twice on the upcoming ten-track compilation: on the track Light Em Up with Will Smith and on the title track Bad Boys with Argentine rapper Trueno. Meanwhile, Shenseea will team up with Puerto Rican rapper Myke Towers for the track, Bam Bam, seemingly a nod to Sister Nancy’s iconic track of the same name.
The soundtrack will also feature American rapper BIA’s Oh No (2023), a song from her Really Her EP that samples Red Rat’s 1997 hit Tight Up Skirt.
This will be Sean Paul and Will Smith’s second collaboration after the two appeared on a version of Shaggy’s Hey Sexy Lady back in 2002.
Shenseea and Myke Towers previously collaborated on Infamous, an original song from the Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse soundtrack that sampled Barrington Levy’s 1985 hit Here I Come.
Black Eyed Peas’ Tonight with El Alfa and Becky G, the first song from the upcoming soundtrack, was released on May 10 via Epic Records. The album will also feature JID, Flo Milli and more.
Here’s the full tracklist:
- Black Eyed Peas x El Alfa feat. Becky G – Tonight

The soundtrack for the first film, Bad Boys (1995), had featured Diana King’s Shy Guy, Ini Kamoze’s Call The Police (produced by Sly & Robbie), and Inner Circle’s Bad Boys, which also inspired the franchise’s title.
