Adrian Younge is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer who has collaborated with icons such as Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and Wu-Tang Clan. A former law professor, Younge made a bold transition into film and music, first gaining widespread attention as the composer and editor of Black Dynamite—a modern blaxploitation cult classic with a soundtrack hailed by the LA Times as one of the top ten of the year. His 2011 album Something About April fused psychedelic soul with cinematic textures, catching the attention of major hip-hop producers. Timbaland famously sampled it for Jay-Z’s Magna Carta… Holy Grail, and Younge’s music has since been tapped by DJ Premier, No I.D., and Schoolboy Q.
Younge is also the founder of Linear Labs, an analog-centric label and recording studio that champions live instrumentation and vintage production techniques. Through Linear Labs, he’s produced acclaimed projects for Ghostface Killah, Souls of Mischief, The Delfonics, and more. In 2017, Younge teamed up with Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest) to form The Midnight Hour, a band that merges soul, jazz, and cinematic music. Together, they’ve become prolific scorers for film and television, contributing music to Luke Cage, Raising Kanan, Boogie, Bitchin’: The Sound and Fury of Rick James, and many more.
In 2019, Younge and Muhammad co-founded Jazz Is Dead, a record label and multimedia platform that reimagines jazz through intergenerational collaboration. The project has yielded new recordings with legends like Roy Ayers, Gary Bartz, Marcos Valle, and Tony Allen, and has grown into a powerful live series with international acclaim. In 2021, Younge released The American Negro, a landmark multimedia work including an album, short film (TAN), and podcast (Invisible Blackness). Centered on the evolution of racism in America, the project weaves together music, narrative, and historical critique—featuring guests such as Mahershala Ali, Chuck D, and Dr. Melina Abdullah. For Adrian Younge, the music is never separate from the message—it’s a vessel for truth, liberation, and cultural memory.
