And, you know, one of the really incredible  parts of the journey on this film  

has been in the same way that Jay-Z and I took  '20s jazz and were able to work with all sorts  

of artists to translate it into a contemporary  feel. In ELVIS, you'll get classic Elvis,  

but we're translating some of the music into  a contemporary feel with an array of amazing  

guest artists. You know, Beale Street's so big in  the story, and we needed Big Mama Thornton. Dave  

Cobb and I were recording down there in Nashville  in churches, an amazing artist, Shonka Dukureh,  

sings and we go, 'She's gotta play Big Mama  Thornton.' Then, suddenly it's like, well, we got  

Big Mama Thornton, who could possibly translate,  you know, if Beale Street was now? Doja Cat.

There's more side to the  story I'mma tell everybody...
