Adrian Younge
Having collaborated with the likes of Ghostface Killah, The Delfonics, Kendrick Lamar, Ebo Taylor, Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest), and Laetitia Sadier, Adrian Younge deserves far more widespread recognition. This is the guy who scored Netflix’s Luke Cage, after all. His fusion of psychedelic soul with a deep reverence for Ennio Morricone has produced some of the coolest, most distinctive music out there.
