Men in Black: The Album is the soundtrack to the film Men in Black. It was released on July 1, 1997, distributed by Columbia Records and featured production from some of music's top producers, such as Poke & Tone, Jermaine Dupri and The Ummah.
The album was a huge success, spending two consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, as well as peaking at No. 2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and No. 3 on the Canadian Albums Chart. The RIAA certified the album 3× Platinum for sales of over 3,000,000 copies in the United States.
Four singles were released from the album, Will Smith's "Men in Black" and "Just Cruisin'", Jermaine Dupri and Snoop Dogg's "We Just Wanna Party with You", and Nas' "Escobar '97". Except for the title song and the two Danny Elfman cues, none of the tracks on the album are in the film.
This soundtrack also marked the debuts of then-unknowns Alicia Keys and Destiny's Child.
Columbia Records released a Danny Elfman score album, including the two tracks included on Men In Black: The Album, on December 1, 1997.
