First off, I've been bad with emails and Tweets, and I'm trying to improve. That has to do with not regularly checking the spots I should be checking, so my bad. Anyways, this popped up in my inbox a little while ago -- and what we've got here is a new series that's trying to gain network attention. And it's about THAT LIFE, even if you're not. "Set in the digital-age, The Rapper chronicles the story of three young men who attempt to overcome the of lack of support, lack of resources, lack of finances, and the pressures of street life, in order to see their dreams of making it in the hip hop industry come true".
Sounds like a dope concept for sure, and one that's sure to interest more than a few people around these parts. For every Soulja Boy or "Gangnam Style", there's millions of dudes hustling upstream, constantly having to ask themselves if the road less traveled is worth it. The series is directed by Los Angelian Vincent LaMotte, and it's being billed as a mash-up of The Wire, Mad Men and Hustle & Flow. Certainly a promising combination.
To the guy who sent over the email, and anyone else I haven't gotten to -- I promise I'll get there. KWT is all about supporting passionate people. With all that said, if you like what you see and are intrigued, give these guys any support you can, whether it's a Youtube comment, an email, whatever. Also, as a lil KWT exclusive, I've included the link to the first episode, which I should probably watch so I know what's going on.
