Myke Towers Puts Latin Rap in the Driver’s Seat for the F1 Movie Soundtrack
Imagine the roar of racing engines paired with sharp rhymes and a familiar hip-hop groove. That’s what Myke Towers is bringing with his new track Baja California, featured on the soundtrack for the upcoming Formula 1 movie. Towers doesn’t just rap about speed—he packs the song with slick references that mirror the intensity and risk of Formula 1 racing. Clocking in with high-energy verses, he doesn’t hold back with nods to street racing and the pressure-filled life of F1 drivers.
This isn’t just any rap track, either. If you’ve got a good ear for hip-hop, you’ll catch a throwback sample: Black Sheep’s 1991 anthem, The Choice Is Yours (Revisited). Towers weaves these old-school sounds into something new, bridging that unmistakable Golden Age style with today’s punchy, modern beats. The result feels nostalgic and fresh at the same time—like catching a classic car on a contemporary race track.
For Towers, this song isn’t just another single. He stands out as the only Latin artist riding with the F1 soundtrack crew. That’s a big marker, especially considering how global and mainstream Formula 1 has become in recent years. Latin artists have a massive following in racing hotspots like Mexico and Brazil, and with Baja California, Towers puts his own stamp on the sport’s growing music culture.
A Star-Studded Soundtrack Drives the F1 Movie Hype
He’s not alone on the F1 soundtrack, though. The lineup reads like a wish list: Don Toliver and Doja Cat team up for the original Lose My Mind, Rosé shines with Messy, Dom Dolla brings energy on No Room For A Saint, and country-strong Chris Stapleton taps into rugged emotion with Bad As I Used To Be. All these tracks have one thing in common—they amplify the adrenaline and raw emotion behind the film’s dramatic story.
The movie itself is revving up expectations, with Brad Pitt and Damson Idris set to lead as rival drivers. Under Joseph Kosinski’s direction, viewers will get a close look at the cutthroat world of Formula 1: comebacks, fierce rivalries, and the obsessive chase for victory. The music isn’t just background noise—it’s a central part of how the film hopes to hook audiences into both the speed of the sport and the heart of its characters.
If you’re already firing up your calendar, digital release for the full soundtrack and the movie launch are both set for June 27, 2025. Get ready for an international mix of sound, speed, and star power—straight from the pit lane to your playlist.
