Elba, 43, told Newsbeat: “On the John Luther one especially because it’s from London, it’s about London and it should feel like it’s from the show. I’ve got Wretch (32) on it, I’ve got Tanika on it, and I’ve got Shakka on it.
“I feel like as I grow as someone that does music, I can pull a lot of interesting people together. So there is a project that I am definitely working on where mans might have to bring out his bars again.”
It’s not the first time Idris has created a soundtrack for one of his projects, he released a Mandela score last year.
