FILMRISE PRESENTS
BAD RAP
Premiering on VOD Tuesday, May 23 on all major platforms including iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, and Vudu.
Film’s VOD release timed to Asian Cultural Heritage Month (May 2017).
Hip-hop
culture has transcended many racial and cultural boundaries after its founding
in the ’70s by African-American and Latino youth in the South Bronx. Since
then, rappers have emerged as legitimate pop culture stars around the world and
hip-hop’s global movement has become increasingly more diverse. Yet the face of
rap in America remains primarily black, brown, and white.
BAD RAP
follows the lives and careers of four Asian-American rappers trying to break
into a world that often treats them as outsiders.Featuring
dynamic live performance footage and revealing interviews, BAD RAP will turn
the most skeptical critics into believers.
From the
battle rhymes of crowd-favorite Dumbfoundead to the tongue-in-cheek songs of
Awkwafina; the unapologetic visuals of Rekstizzy to the conflicted values of
Lyricks—BAD RAP paints a memorable portrait of artistic passion in the face of
an unsung struggle.
