Netflix’s new sci-fi drama The Kitchen has got us all talking about that powerful ending, but also its electronic-heavy soundtrack featuring everyone from Tirzah to Ruff Sqwad.
Marking both the Get Out star Daniel Kaluuya and Kibwe Tavares’ directorial-debut, the film depicts a dystopian future London where social housing is no longer — following characters Izi (played by Kane “Kano” Robinson) and 12-year-old Benji (played by Jedaiah Bannerman) as they try to survive the extreme changes of their hometown known as “The Kitchen.”
Other cast members include Hope Ikpoku Jr, Teija Kabs, Demmy Ladipo, Cristale, BackRoad Gee and Rasaq Kukoyi.
