Bulletproof Soul: Ali Shaheed Muhammad & Adrian Younge On Scoring Luke Cage

An interview with Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge, the composers of Netflix and Marvel's Luke Cage series. "They let us run wild on this thing, and let us act as if we were artists and not hired employees. This is something that’s 13 episodes and we just went in and tried to make 13 albums really quickly. So the music is something that serves as the nucleus of hip-hop culture. Hip-hop came from the sampling of breaks and all that stuff, and we created the score from the perspective of vinyl culture which is the source material for hip-hop. So, all the kind of music that hip-hop was sampling was the kind of music we created, in addition to creating hip-hop stuff for the series. It’s one of the best experiences I’ve ever had composing."
