The boys are back! Drama, Turtle, E, Ari and, of course, Vinnie Chase. And so is Scott Vener. While he may not be one of Vinnie’s entourage, he has set the tone for both the Entourage movie and the HBO series in his role as music supervisor. Entourage creator Doug Ellin, who also wrote, directed and produced the film, made sure that Vener was part of the team that took the TV series to the big screen.

“Music has always been an integral part of Entourage and the movie is no different,” says Ellin. “The music itself, like the boys and like Los Angeles, is another character that we hope the audience falls in love with.”

The movie carries on the series’ tradition of diverse music that enhances the on-screen action. It can really drive a scene. “My favorite part about the music of Entourage is having the ability to play any genre of music without it feeling out of place,” says Vener, who meticulously chose the music for the film and produced the soundtrack.

To get a sense of how the soundtrack came together, check out the complete track listing below, including a track-by-track commentary from Vener himself.

"Entourage": Original Motion Picture Soundtrack – Track-by-Track Commentary:

1. Royal Blood - "Figure It Out"

"This track has a ton of attitude and seemed like the right way to announce 'the boys are back'!"  

2. Jane’s Addiction - "Superhero"

"It’s the theme song –  We can’t have an Entourage film without the theme!" 

3. Diplo & DJ Snake - "Drop" (feat. Big Freedia)

"It’s Diplo and DJ Snake. Who’s making better party music than them right now? They’re on fire and it fits well with the lifestyle we wanted to portray for Vince and his friends." 

4. A-Trak - "Push" (feat. Andrew Wyatt)

"I’ve always loved this song and have been trying to find it a home for a long time. I'm glad it was in Entourage!"

"This has been one of my sleeper favorite songs in a while and it works PERFECT in the movie. Everyone needs to hear it and watch the video!" 

6. Pharrell Williams - "Hunter"

"With a Pharrell cameo we needed a Pharrell song. This is one of my favorites of his last album." 

7. Mobb Deep feat. Big Noyd - "Give Up the Goods (Just Step)"

"Turtle always drives to the best hip-hop. This is some of the best hip-hop there is."

8. Tha Dogg Pound - "What Would U Do?"
