The official theme song for Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales has gotten itself a music video, featuring clips from the game and real-life shots of Jaden. The young performer is the voice behind the song and details how Miles feels he's ready to play the main role as Spider-Man. Suitably titled "I'm Ready", Jaden Smith (Will Smith's son) gets the point across well particularly well. This scribe has to assume the track plays at some point during the next-gen experience too, but since the PS5 isn't out here in the UK until Thursday, that's just an assumption rather than confirmation.
In the 8/10 Push Square review, we said: "The soundtrack also slams, with hip-hop beats imbuing an entirely different vibe to the traditional orchestral score." Sounds like this collection of hits is one you'll want to stream on Spotify outside of the game. Have you been doing so? Let us know in the comments below.

Cool! I just platinumed Spider Man PS4 (going through the DLC now) - should I just go ahead and buy Miles Morales PS4 and keep going? I'm afraid of burning out on Spider-Man...OR wait til I buy a PS5 (probably in a year or two) and play it then?
Still not a fan of the soundtrack. Sticking a trap beat on orchestral music doesn’t make it hip hop. They should have just employed an actual hip hop producer to curate the soundtrack rather than have John Paesano deliver what sounds like your gran assumes the young people are listening to these days. While I’m not a huge fan of Jaden Smith’s music, if they can get him on board for a theme song then they can afford to craft an actually faithful soundtrack. The soundtrack sounds like it was first orchestrated and then they said, to quote Blackout Crew, “Yeah, yeah it's sick that, yeah that's good. Wait hold on a minute, pull it up, stop. You know what you wanna do with that right, You wanna put a bangin' donk on it.”
This is the second song he has in the game. The first song they played during the reveal trailer in June and is in the game at the beginning, not sure if it's in the game more than that. It's actually a pretty good song.
@nessisonett they did do that? boi1da made it with John
@David187 By hip-hop producer, I mean one who produces good music and not Drake and Eminem tracks 😉
@nessisonett come on man you sound silly
@nessisonett Like @David187 said, truly silly. Boi-1da produced The Blacker The Berry...
I thought this sounded an awful lot like "Way Up" from the Spiderverse movie soundtrack until I checked and that too was by Jaden Smith. Makes sense then...
@Kidfried He was one of 3 producers on The Blacker The Berry. He also was one of the producers on Dummy by 6ix9ine. Clearly the man feels perfectly comfortable in the presence of greatness and in the presence of 6ix9ine.
@nessisonett Lol, that can be said about pretty much any artist ever.
Kendrick has some very bad features, Dr. Dre some really bad instrumentals, Mike Will Made It has off days too, et cetera.
@Kidfried Yeah, so Boi-1da is the opposite. Instead of having off days, he had a couple of good days. The vast majority of his work is on bottom of the barrel stuff like Chris Brown, Drake, Bieber, 6ix9ine. The only albums I can see in his credits that are memorable or honestly good in any way are To Pimp A Butterfly and The Life of Pablo and I didn’t even like TLoP. He’s also only credited on one track on both those albums. He’s in no way going to be remembered as a great producer in the coming years. I dunno, it would be like saying Crunchy Black is a great rapper cause he was credited on some great Three 6 Mafia releases. And then you listen to Crunchy Black and realise that he’s the Bez of Three 6 Mafia.
@nessisonett I have no idea what you just said but I'm sure it was hip hip hippity hop Tippety top,the only word i could comprehend was bez
@vapidwolf In the world of hip hop, hype men are basically Bez.
