Hardball is movie starring Keanu Reeves that depicts him becoming in unlikely role as a baseball coach to small group Underachieving Chicago Little Leaguers. The films overall appeal will evidently showcase its musical prowess to the large Nickelodeon audience that movie will capture. In reference to its riveting motion picture soundtrack.

As with all urban soundtracks its creative base predominately with one main producer that evolves around the compilation. Which results into a infusion of a new artists, spirited club joints and infectious remixes.

Starting with the high-spirited lead off single Hardball by young phenoms Lil' Bow Wow, Lil' Zane, Lil' Wayne and Sammie. Without doubt, this single is the stand out cut of this soundtrack release, beyond obvious proven hits already featured on the album.
