Miranda has also been working on a concept album titled “Warriors,” as well as some original songs for the forthcoming film “Mufasa: The Lion King.” The former features some hip-hop legends, including Nas, Lauryn Hill and Ghostface Killa. Miranda told Fallon he would have to be careful not to cross streams with the work he was doing writing for “Mufasa,” which is a Disney film. “I went into every song in ‘Mufasa’ with that energy of, ‘This is a no skips album,’” he said. “And then the other thing was, I remember reading online someone saying, ‘Lin doesn’t write villain songs.’ Like Michael Jordan, I took that personally. I wrote a villain song and Mads Mikkelson sings it because he’s the big villain in the movie, and he’s terrifying.”“Mufasa: The Lion King” is in theaters December 20.
