Jeymes Samuel Presents “Hallelujah Heaven” With Lil Wayne, Buju Banton, and Shabba Ranks For “The Book of Clarence”

Filmmaker and musician Jeymes Samuel has orchestrated a heavenly collaboration with acclaimed artists Lil Wayne, Buju Banton, and Shabba Ranks for the inaugural soundtrack single, “Hallelujah Heaven.” This musical masterpiece serves as a prelude to Samuel’s upcoming cinematic venture, “The Book of Clarence,” where he dons the hats of director, writer, producer, and composer.

Samuel, also known for his work on the 2021 feature film “The Harder They Fall,” expressed to Rolling Stone that there is a seamless integration of storytelling and music in his latest project. “The story and music were always there percolating in my mind,” he stated. Unwavering in his commitment to the project, Samuel undertook the roles of composing the score, directing, and crafting the soundtrack simultaneously. “It was all one amazing journey where one depended on the other,” he emphasized.

The collaborative spirit behind “Hallelujah Heaven” brought together a powerhouse trio of artists. Samuel shared his enthusiasm for working with Lil Wayne, Buju Banton, and Shabba Ranks on the track, describing the experience as “so dope.” The result, undoubtedly, is a musical composition that mirrors the grandeur of the film’s narrative.

Accompanying the release of “Hallelujah Heaven” is a tantalizing trailer for “The Book of Clarence,” scheduled to grace theaters in January 2024. The film unfolds the story of Clarence, portrayed by LaKeith Stanfield, a common man in 33 AD Jerusalem whose encounter with Jesus Christ leads him on a transformative journey to become a messiah himself.

The star-studded cast includes Omar Sy, RJ Cyler, Alfre Woodard, David Oyelowo, Teyana Taylor, Anna Diop, James McAvoy, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Michael Ward, promising a cinematic experience of epic proportions.

While full details are yet to be unveiled, the roster includes contributions from Jay-Z, who also serves as a producer on the film, along with Kid Cudi, Jorge Ben Jor, Adekunle Gold, Jorja Smith, Yemi Alade, and other musical luminaries. As the release date draws near, audiences can expect a harmonious marriage of visuals and sound, creating an immersive experience that transcends the boundaries of conventional cinema.
