If you’re waiting around for the Sonic movie, anxious to see the final version, there’s one thing that can tide you over: the movie’s official song.

Ahead of the movie’s February 14 release date, Sonic the Hedgehog has droped its official song, and it happens to be from Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa.
By teaming up with Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Yachty, and Sueco the Child, Wiz has brought hip-hop to the world of Sonic via the new single, Speed Me Up, which we can expect to see used in the movie itself.
The Sonic movie first made headlines when its official trailer was released, prompting fans to explode with online criticism, which ultimately led to a new team of CGI artists redesigning everyone’s favorite blue hedgehog. Sonic, who is voiced by Ben Schwartz, will join James Marsden and Jim Carrey on the silver screen this Valentine’s Day, and whether the film ends up being any good or not, morbid curiosity alone is going to bring many people to the theatre.
Just like almost every other movie adaptation based on a popular gaming franchise, a team of A-list artists have been brought together to helm Sonic’s theme song, but the final result actually isn’t as bad as you might have anticipated. The lyrics actually relate to Sonic, and the beat itself is surprisingly catchy. It’s easy to picture this song playing during the movie’s end credits, and considering the past commercial success of Wiz Khalifa, it could see some popularity beyond the movie as well.
The music video is pretty great too, as each rapper enters the pixelated world of Sonic and runs alongside the blue hedgehog himself. It’s a great nostalgia trip for anyone familiar with the classic games, as well as a creative twist on a music video that will make any hip-hop fan happy. When you take a look back at rap songs made specifically for movies, this one is far from being the worst.
Paramount is predicting that Sonic the Hedgehog will have a pretty profitable opening weekend, especially considering the success of last year’s Detective Pikachu. On top of that, Sega has big plans for its many franchises as far as movie adaptations are concerned, and we can expect to see plenty of video game movies released in the upcoming years.
