Soul and funk collide with cinematic firepower as BJ The Chicago Kid drops his latest single “MAKE IT HOT,” featuring powerhouse vocalist Eryn Allen Kane. Released by Sony Music Masterworks, the feel-good anthem takes center stage in Prime Video’s upcoming action-comedy The Pickup, which premieres globally on Wednesday, August 6.

Co-written and performed by the dynamic duo, “MAKE IT HOT” made its debut in the film’s official trailer and now sets the tone for what’s expected to be one of the most talked-about soundtracks of the summer. With BJ’s signature soul stylings and Eryn’s commanding presence, the track brings undeniable energy to the film’s chaotic storyline, starring Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson, and Keke Palmer.

The song serves as the lead single for the official The Pickup soundtrack and captures the spirit of a film that’s equal parts explosive and hilarious. As the music world continues to embrace authentic artistry, BJ and Eryn remind us that real soul still reigns—especially when it’s time to make it hot.
