Barry DeVorzon enlisted the help of Mandrill amongst others for the soundtrack to a gritty street gang movie from 1979. Expect a rocked-up, late 70s funk score with big analogue synth over the top of a mix of latin and rock grooves. The album features several poor vocal numbers but contains a good instrumental theme, driving and insistent. Many of the other tracks are sparse, guitar-led late 70s funk with strong bass. The main theme's melody is reprised throughout the score.

Also you will notice Kung Fu movies on this site as well. What does this have to do with Blaxploitation? Well, the more action packed Blaxploitation films did not just street fight. Oh no.....they thought they were Kung Fu Masters. Chinese martial art movies gave a sense of invincibility to these actors. Seeing how cool it was to be a masterful fighter, why not just integrate this with Pimpin', Hustlin', Jive Talkin' and Pam Grier? Blax-Pride!!!
