Sales Information:

The Midnight Hour is Black excellence: an ode to the cultural sophistication that the Harlem
Renaissance established for its people. The Midnight Hour is comprised of Ali Shaheed
Muhammad and Adrian Younge, alongside a tight rhythm section and a full orchestra.
Adrian and Ali began working on this album back in 2013, but put the project aside as they
would score the hit Netflix series Marvel’s Luke Cage (the two even perform in an episode
of the upcoming second season). The Midnight Hour is a soul/jazz/hip hop album which
continues the conversations started by yesterday’s jazz and funk pioneers, those that created
the bedrock of samples for hip hop producers in the 80s/90s. The Midnight Hour is
sophisticated hip hop that fans will enjoy, capturing their jazz rhythm section, and
full orchestra, to analog tape.
The Midnight Hour is now available as full instrumentals on vinyl.
