The film features music from a variety of artists including The Black Keys, Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa, My Chemical Romance, John Frusciante and Chinese singer Sally Yeh. RZA also developed new tracks based on excerpts from Wu-Tang Clan master tracks provided by Sony Music, and songs from artists including William Bell, Isaac Hayes and Mable John provided by Stax Records. Composer Howard Drossin provides original musical cues for the film.[20][6]
RZA had not initially set out to score the film. He inserted temporary tracks of songs he wanted to use. After watching the temporary-track cut of the film, it was decided that the music was not suitable, and it was instead suggested that RZA provide the music. RZA sought Tarantino's help with the score after having previously aided Tarantino in scoring Kill Bill, but Tarantino also suggested RZA entirely produce the score. RZA, aided by Drossin, then developed and finalized the score.[6] They then moved on to developing the film soundtrack.[17] The official soundtrack is scheduled for release on October 23, 2012 and will feature 15 songs from the film including several original songs by Kanye West, the Wu-Tang Clan, Talib Kweli, Ghostface Killah, Pusha T, Raekwon, and collaborations by RZA with The Black Keys and Flatbush Zombies.[21] Continuing the character Jack Knife's influence by Ol' Dirty Bastard, his theme tune features a jaw harp cue reminiscent of the artist's song "Shimmy Shimmy Ya."[5]
