Snake’s latest venture is a massive joint track with Rick Ross and Rich Brian, which was produced for Marvel’s upcoming film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. “Run It” is a heart-racing banger fit for the suspenseful action sequences of a tentpole Marvel film.

Marvel has shared a new trailer for their first film starring an Asian superhero, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
