Gridlock'd – The Soundtrack serves as the official music compilation for Vondie Curtis-Hall's motion picture Gridlock'd, which was released on January 28, 1997, through Death Row Records in collaboration with Interscope Records.
The song "Out the Moon (Boom, Boom, Boom)" was originally created for the LBC Crew's unreleased debut project Haven't You Heard? (We Givin' Something Bacc To The Street), with several tracks later redistributed across various Death Row albums. This soundtrack includes two singles that charted: "Lady Heroin," initially meant for Sam Sneed's canceled Street Scholars album, and "It's Over Now," which attained the 46th spot on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, marking Danny Boy's second time charting. Additionally, "Wanted Dead or Alive" reached number 16 on the UK charts and featured a music video highlighting Snoop Dogg alone, filmed posthumously after 2Pac's passing using archival footage from the movie.
This album was among the last Death Row releases distributed by Interscope before their partnership dissolved later in 1997. Upon its debut, the soundtrack secured the top position on the R&B albums chart.

Upon release, Gridlock'd entered both the US Billboard 200 and US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts at number one, moving 150,500 units during its initial week. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) awarded it Gold certification on April 16, 1997.
