In “Hacksaw Rap,” for example, Adejuyigbe uses the melody from Rupert Gregson-Williams’ \u00a0“Praying” and the score from Mel Gibson’s World War II drama as the base of a Smith-inflected rap. “This is the story\/Of a man from Virginia\/He fought for his country\/And for the lives of his fellow soldiers\/Up on the Hacksaw Ridge,” goes the song.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Whoo!-light,” meanwhile, remixes “Little’s Theme” from Barry Jenkins’ critical darling: “Saturday night, with Jazzy and Jaden\/We were gettin pretty bored, it was gettin pretty late and I said\/’Let’s go out and catch us a flick’\/’Collateral Beauty’ wasn’t playin, so I let Jaden pick.”<\/span><\/p>\n
