Warriors (Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis album)

Warriors is a concept album by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis, inspired by the 1979 action film The Warriors, which adapted the 1965 novel of the same name by Sol Yurick. Released on October 18, 2024, it was executive-produced by Nas and produced by Mike Elizondo. Blending hip-hop, musical theatre, and various styles that reflect New York City's diversity, Warriors reimagines the story with a gender-flipped perspective. It follows an all-female gang navigating a treacherous journey through the city after the murder of a gang leader, drawing inspiration from real-life events like the 1971 Hoe Avenue peace meeting and addressing themes of misogyny.

Though initially rumored to be part of a planned stage musical, Miranda and Davis clarified that Warriors was conceived as a standalone musical work. Miranda has stated that treating the project as an album rather than a stage production allowed him to work with some of his "dream collaborators" who could not commit to a Broadway schedule. Warriors features a diverse group of artists, including hip-hop figures Lauryn Hill, Busta Rhymes, Ghostface Killah, and RZA, as well as Latin musician Marc Anthony and dancehall singer Shenseea. The album also includes performances from Broadway and film stars Colman Domingo, Billy Porter, Sasha Hutchings, Phillipa Soo, and Jasmine Cephas Jones. Following its release, Miranda and Davis confirmed plans to develop a stage adaptation.

The album debuted at number one on Billboard's Compilation Albums chart and entered the Top 40 on the UK Album Downloads chart.
