YOUNGE is Adrian Younges 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 Portisheads Geoff Barrow, the album draws from a lineage of emotionally charged, forwardthinking music that quietly shaped hip hop decades later through sampling.
