Following another successful collaboration with Rick Ross on the Miami rapper’s latest album, “Deeper Than Rap,” production trio the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League is working on several new projects.
Headlng the League’s to-do list is a new track by Atlantic rapper Maino. Titled “Here Comes Trouble,” the track has been tapped as the theme song for the independent film “Brooklyn’s Finest.” Directed by Antoine Fuqua (“Training Day”) and due in late 2009, the suspense thriller stars Don Cheadle, Ethan Hawke, Richard Gere and Wesley Snipes. The story centers on three unconnected Brooklyn, NY police officers (two of them undercover) who end up at the same deadly location in the Brooklyn projects. According to the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League’s co-manager Chuck Greene, the song will also be a single for Maino and included on his upcoming album.
