Insecure may be over, but Issa Rae is back with a new show for HBO. On Monday, HBO Max unveiled the trailer for the new series Rap Sh!t.
Slated to release on July 21, the new show will highlight the work women must do to break into the hip-hop industry. The story focuses on Shawn and Mia starting a rap group.
“I think this is such a unique time in hip-hop, especially when it comes to female rappers, because there are so many and it doesn’t feel like they’re all competing. I’m a ’90s kid, and there used to be a tendency to pit two women against each other,” Rae saidBAZAAR.com. “It feels like we are in a time where there is such a supportive environment now because of this abundance. All of that combined with my own origin story became the next story I wanted to tell.”
