Behind the Scenes[]
- Inspirations for this soundtrack included Alfred Hitchcock, Mission Impossible, Kojak, Baretta and The Incredible Hulk.
- Cheo Hodari Coker commented on the soundtrack: "If Season 1 was about the hip-hop and the Wu-Tangification of the Marvel Universe, Season 2 is about the ROOTS of hip-hop: reggae and the blues. How both smashed up against each other to create the sonic backdrop of what we now know as hip-hop. The rhythmic stew of funk, rhythm and blues, soul, melded with the Jamaican 'DJ' tradition. Harlem's Paradise, which is tied to the family legacy of both Mariah Dillard Stokes and John 'Bushmaster' McGiver, is where the musical sensibilities of both clash. One of the secrets of the show is whoever looks down at the club from Cottonmouth's 'perch' controls the music of the club and has reign over Harlem. The music selection and the sequencing is a labor of love, and is one of the most important things I do as showrunner of this show. I love the fact that all of musical sensibilities meld with our storytelling and dramatic desires as a writer's room, cast, and production crew. I get to be both John Wells and Quincy Jones."
