Right out of the gate, Luke Cage has one of the most impressive soundtracks of any Netflix Original and especially puts its other Marvel series to shame with its collective mix of R&B, Grime, Rap and more which is perfect given the shows roots in the area of New York city that most of the show is set in.

You’ve got a whole range of third party music throughout as well as an original score plus some exclusive tracks made especially for the show.

What we’ve done below is put the soundtrack episode by episode and with the help of you, we’ll have the most complete soundtrack listing on the internet.
