To tie in with the release of the first two episodes of the National Geographic drama series, “Genius MLK/X”, Hollywood Records has released the soundtrack to the series on digital platforms including Spotify, Amazon and Apple.

The new season of the Emmy Award-winning anthology series focuses on two iconic geniuses: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) and Malcolm X (Aaron Pierre). “Genius: MLK/X” will explore the formative years, where they were molded by strong fathers and traumatic injustices, to their rich, parallel stories as they shaped their identities and became the change they wished to see in the world. The docudrama series offers an intimate look into their complex lives as husbands, fathers, brothers and sons, taking them off the iconic T-shirts to show their humanity. With their formidable wives, Coretta Scott King (Weruche Opia) and Betty Shabazz (Jayme Lawson) leading by their sides, King and X are two visionaries who ultimately rose to pioneer a movement.

The soundtrack features six tracks, which have been performed by a variety of artists including Jacob Banks, Fallon King, Felisha King Harvey, Rhiannon Giddens, Blu and Aloe Blacc.

Here’s the tracklist for the album:

1. Jericho – Jacob Banks (2:34)
