Marvel's Luke Cage Season 1 13

People needed someone that didn't require a warrant or shield to get things done. Call it a vigilante, or a superhero, call it what you will, but like it or not, I finally accepted that that someone had to be me.

Synopsis for "You Know My Steez"

Synopsis not yet written.

Notes

The Gang Starr song the episode is named after is "You Know My Steez", from their album Moment of Truth. Like the song, the episode celebrates an individual (or a group) single-handedly rectifying a situation with their own style and ease.
The episode features a musical performance of "100 Days, 100 Nights" by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings.

Trivia

Claire takes a contact number from a flier that's advertising self-defense lessons. The teacher of the class is Colleen Wing, who was later introduced in Marvel's Iron Fist.
The outfit Misty wears in the final moments of the episode closely resembles her usual attire in the comics.
Series showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker was planning to ask musician Prince to perform in this episode, but Prince passed away before the episode was filmed.^[1]
