The soundtrack for "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" now includes A$AP Rocky and Lil Uzi Vert.

On Tuesday, the rappers' inclusion in the soundtrack's cast was made known to the general public.

The project had also previously been given the leadership of English singer-songwriter James Blake, Future, and Don Toliver.

New songs from rap artists such A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Offset, NAV, Wizkid, Swae Lee, Coi Leray, 21 Savage, and others will also be included on the soundtrack, which was put together by Metro Boomin, a well-known rap producer.

The line-up has been revealed by Metro by uploading illustrations of each artist dressed as Spider-Man.

He announced last week that Blake would be featured on Hummingbird, Toliver would be featured on Link Up, and Leray would be featured on Self Love.

The voices of Shameik Moore, Oscar Isaac, Daniel Kaluuya, Hailee Steinfeld, and Jake Johnson can be heard in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the follow-up to the animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse from 2018.

The movie and its corresponding music will both be available on Friday, June 2.

When Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was released in 2018, it received praise for a wide range of factors, including the extraordinarily imaginative animation achievements and the moving narrative at its core.

Another area where the movie shined was its soundtrack, which featured a number of modern songs by musicians including Jaden Smith, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Post Malone, and Ty Dolla $ign in addition to an original score by Daniel Pemberton.

When "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" debuts in UK theaters next month, it will undoubtedly have a lot to live up to, but early reviews suggest that it is more than capable of surpassing the original movie's high standards.

In other news, Lil Uzi Vert is at last speaking out about identifying as gender non-conforming and switching their pronouns to they/them. The Pink Tape rapper was interviewed by fashion magazine 032c for its most recent cover story on Tuesday, May 30.

In the Q&A, Uzi explains why the artist decided to adjust their pronouns on Instagram in July by choosing gender nonconformity.

"No, I never hesitated," Lil Uzi Vert explained when asked if they had any reluctance to make the move. "But I did take my time to learn as much as I could about this before I was able to proceed. Taking the time to figure out who you are is a big part of what it means to be alive. Once you figure out whether you're here with it, there with it, or both, you're not alone anymore. This community offers access to a certain kind of support that you might not have had [previously during] your entire life because you weren't raised that way. I come from a household where it's not okay to be 'non' anything."
