RAPTURE
A Netflix original documentary series
Launches globally
MARCH 30
FEATURING 2018 GRAMMY NOMINEES RAPSODY AND LOGIC
From Mass Appeal, Rapture stares directly into the bright
light that hip hop culture shines on the world and doesn’t blink. Throughout 8
episodes and featuring a diverse swath of artists -- Nas and Dave East, T.I.,
Rapsody, Logic, G-Eazy, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, 2 Chainz and Just Blaze –
Rapture dives into the artists’ lives with their families and friends, to
sitting front row in the studio and grinding on tour, to experiencing the
ecstatic power of moving the crowd.
“Way back, when hip hop culture was in its gestational
phase, the powerful message therein didn’t go much further than the five
boroughs of New York City. Today, rap music is the heartbeat of Mother Earth,
and Netflix is the embodiment of the eyes from which she sees,” said Sacha Jenkins
of Mass Appeal. “It is a great honor for Mass Appeal to work with Netflix to
produce our new series Rapture. We’ve been telling hip hop stories since ’96,
and as natives we feel it is our duty to do the movement justice. Rapture is
bangin’. Straight up.”
