Today (September 30), marks the premiere of the much anticipated Luke Cage, an episodic series following the Marvel superhero of the same name and starring Mike Colter, Mahershala Ali, Alfre Woodard, and others. For all the waves its making in the world of comic-book fandom, the show has been getting sensational attention from the Hip-Hop community, as well.

Earlier this year, news broke that Ali Shaheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest and celebrated composer Adrian Younge were partnering on the series for its music development, which has been described as imbuing the show with a “’90s Hip-Hop vibe.” Shortly thereafter, an announcement was made that each of the show’s episodes would be named after a Gang Starr song, resulting in overwhelming enthusiasm from Heads.

Should (although, based on the excitement surrounding the show’s arrival, perhaps the better word is “when”) the series be picked up for more seasons, after which ’90s Hip-Hop artist should future episodes be titled?
