'Above the Rim: The Soundtrack' is the official soundtrack to the 1994 film Above the Rim. The soundtrack, released by Death Row and Interscope Records on March 22, 1994, was executive produced by Suge Knight. Dr. Dre acted as supervising producer on the project.
Six singles were released for the soundtrack's promotion. The album is notable in that it was able to garner critical praise and obtain commercial success, a feat not easily accomplished for soundtracks in general, and hip hop-based soundtracks in particular. The album shipped over two million copies and won the Soundtrack of the Year award at the 1995 Source Awards. The soundtrack is also notable for the inclusion of the track "Pain", which was hip-hop artist 2Pac's debut for the Death Row label.
