About this album

Yasuke is a compelling soundtrack album from Flying Lotus, blending abstract hip hop, jazz and electronic ideas into a sharply cinematic whole. Issued in 2021 for the Netflix anime series inspired by the African samurai legend, it shows the producer stretching his signature sound into mood, action and atmosphere without losing rhythmic bite. The record moves between heavy percussion, fractured beats and luminous harmonic detail, drawing on fusion and jazz traditions as well as club-era electronics. It stands as one of Flying Lotus's most distinctive later works, reinforcing his reputation for inventive genre-crossing music with a strong visual imagination.
