The documentary The Last Days of Black Rob premieres on July 9th

The Last Days of Black Rob is set to chronicle the last days before the untimely death of former bad boy rapper Black Rob. The East Harlem native died in April 2021 of complications from kidney failure.

The documentary is produced by GE Films, Goldmouf Famgoon, Kal Dawson and Rey “G-Child” Mullen. Each EP played an important role in keeping the Black Rob spirit alive.

“The uniqueness of our connection with Rob lies in how we were all brought together,” says GE of Black Rob’s final days. “We all worked together to help Rob when he came to Atlanta.”

In October 2020, Kal Dawson booked Black Rob for some of his most recent shows as an artist, one of which happened to be in Detroit with Beanie Sigel.

Famgoon sees the film as a wake-up call.

“Seeing Black Rob’s situation was both sad and sparking,” Famgoon said. When you make money, strive to make the best investments so you are prepared for what is to come.”

One of the most important elements of the film is the launch and birth of MusicalArtistsUnion.org, directed by Rey Mullen. As the world watched Black Rob’s untimely death, many questions were raised about how to prevent this repeat for other artists.

Therefore, the Musical Artists Union is a union formed to create a responsible United Voice to establish fair pay, benefits, health insurance, substance abuse and mental health counseling for all artists in the music industry.

The Last Days of Black Rob premieres in both his hometown of Harlem on July 9 and in Atlanta on July 16.
