In a dystopian London, 'The Kitchen' depicts a stark divide between the rich and poor. The Kitchen, the sole surviving community, becomes the backdrop where Izi (portrayed by Kano Robison from Netflix's 'Top Boy') and 12-year-old Benji, orphaned and in search of family, actively navigate a challenging system, striving to forge a bond against the odds. The Sci-Fi film was released on January 19, 2024.

The debut directorial project 'The Kitchen' on Netflix, helmed by British actor Daniel Kaluuya('Get Out' and 'Nope') and Kibwe Tavares, features a diverse soundtrack including artists like Alhaji K Frimpong, Giggs, and Fela Kuti.

During a recent Radio Times interview, Kibwe Tavares discussed the incorporation of varied musical genres, stating, "It's definitely a sort of process of elimination and starting pretty broad, and we had to sort of build the soundscape the same we did the world – in a sense, we were still trying to push for, like, this idea of layers and this idea of colours and this idea of building what's there. So then you'll see, like, a mix of influences that we have, whether it's garage, drum and bass, grime, and some more sort of classically composed things".
