There's still one week left before Black Panther hits theaters, but luckily we now have the banging soundtrack to keep us occupied.

The Black Panther soundtrack just dropped early Friday, giving us an early look at what is surely to be one of the best movie soundtracks of the year with songs by Grammy-winner Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Khalid, Vince Staples, The Weeknd, and many more.

Give it a listen here:

The soundtrack sounds less like a movie soundtrack and more like a regular album, but it's clearly inspired by the characters of Black Panther and the fictional African country, Wakanda.

The second track, "All The Stars," received its own music video, which came out on Wednesday.
