Set in an alternate present-day version of Oakland, Sorry to Bother You follows telemarketer Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield, Atlanta) who discovers a magical key to professional success, propelling him into a macabre universe.
Joining Stanfield in the film was Tessa Thompson (Thor: Ragnarok), Armie Hammer (The Social Network, Call Me By Your Name), Terry Crews (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Expendables), Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead, Mayhem), Omari Hardwick (Power, Kick-Ass), Jermaine Fowler (Superior Donuts), and Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon).
Written and directed by acclaimed musician Riley, his feature film debut was produced by Nina Yang Bongiovi, Forest Whitaker, Charles D. King and George Rush. It opened in 2018 to rave reviews from critics and audiences alike and was a box office hit, grossing over $18 million on a $3.2 million budget.
Riley wanted to settle the score once and for all, hence the text on the front cover reads “This is the real, actual soundtrack to the movie Sorry To Bother You by The Coup (This has all new songs and is not to be confused with the album of the same name by the same band years ago…)”. But what’s missing from that information download is that this album is absolutely stacked: featuring guests Killer Mike, Janelle Monáe, Tune-Yards, E-40, and The Coup’s signature politically charged funk-hip-hop, and Riley’s incredible lyrical prowess. It was one of the Mondo Music teams’ favorite albums of 2018, and they are honored to finally share it with the fans of one of the boldest, funniest films in recent years.
