Luke Cage Featurette

We are coming into the home stretch before Luke Cage makes its debut on Netflix later this month and we were treated to a small featurette that highlights the show’s music, as well as, a bit of new footage.

Music Supervisor Adrian Younge had this to say:

“From a musical perspective, Ali and I look at this as we’re creating 13 albums, know what I’m saying? It’s 13 episodes like 13 albums. We have music that is inspired by A Tribe Called Quest but at the same time inspired by Wu, and Ennio Morricone, and we all came together and said that we all wanted to make something great. Not just for black people or minorities, just something great, that just happens to be based on our culture. It was one of those things where I was like yo, we have a chance to make history here.”

Showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker explains that influence even extends to the episode titles.

“All the episodes are named after different Gang Starr songs, so like this one is Soliloquy of Chaos, the first one is Moment of Truth, I mean, it’s all kind of influenced like that. One of the things I was explaining is like the speed of Hip Hop. It happens at the speed of thought so if you really ran into Luke, and then all of a sudden, boom, there’s gonna be a beat. That’s all it takes.”

Luke Cage hits Netflix on September 30th.
