Def Jam's
How High soundtrack comes close to being another
Method Man and
Redman album, a follow-up to the blunt-smoking duo's successful
Blackout! album from two years before. But about halfway through, the soundtrack segues into previously released Def Jam material such as
DMX's "Party Up (Up in Here)" and
Ludacris' "What's Your Fantasy." As for the newly recorded
Meth-
Red material featured here, most noteworthy is "Part II," a version of the duo's signature song "How High."
Erick Sermon produces this update, which prominently features
Toni Braxton on the hook. It's a catchy song, one of the duo's better smoking anthems. Additionally,
Meth and
Red hook up with
Rockwilder and
Cypress Hill for an update of
War's "Cisco Kid." ~ Jason Birchmeier
