Before it was used on the soundtrack for the Jackie Robinson biopic 42, “Brooklyn Go Hard” was originally recorded for the Notorious soundtrack–the so-so biopic about the Notorious B.I.G. The beat was so mean that everybody from Mos Def to Fabolous and Joell Ortiz tried to freestyle over it, and even Raekwon felt he needed to show love for Staten Island using it, making a track called “Staten Go Hard.”
