Where do rap records come from? How did New York's rap pioneers in the 1970s turn live park jams into hit records?
The films explores how rappers, musicians and producers first started working together and created the original rap records. We wish to hear key players tell about bridging the street and the studio and recording Hiphop classics. The documentary will consist of new interviews and tours through recording studios, parks and clubs and possibly performances and archive footage. More info in the synopsis below.
We plan to start filming in May 2013 and present the finished film in early 2014. The documentary will be released on DVD and submitted to selected film and music festivals, cinemas and TV channels. To be directed and produced by Jesper Jensen, responsible for the acclaimed documentary BEAT DIGGIN' feat. Hiphop legends D.I.T.C., GODFATHER DON and DA BEATMINERZ.
