Younge

Younge is Adrian Younge’s magnum opus: an orchestral album written from the perspective of a hip hop producer, and a hip hop record composed with the discipline of classical and cinematic music. Inspired by composers like Lalo Schifrin, David Axelrod, Ennio Morricone, Galt MacDermot, and Portishead’s Geoff Barrow, the album draws from a lineage of emotionally charged, forward-thinking music that quietly shaped hip hop decades later through sampling.
