Insecure’s Issa Rae and Miami rap duo City Girls have collaborated on a new HBO Max series titled Rap Shit, and the trailer is now live.
The comedy series from the Golden Globe-nominated actor and writer follows two Miami-based, estranged high school friends named Shawna and Mia who strive to make a rap group and take over the game without selling their souls. Yung Miami and JT will serve as co-executive producers alongside Kevin “Coach K” Lee and Pierre “P” Thomas of Quality Control Films, as well as Sara Rastogi for HOORAE.
“Are y’all ready for the next big, must-see, fun show this summer?” Issa Rae, who serves as the series executive producer, said in an intro to the trailer. Rae wrote the show’s first episode and co-wrote the season 1 finale with Rap Sh!t‘s showrunner Syreeta Singleton.
The series premieres with its first two episodes on July 21 at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET. The eight-episode debut season will then release an episode a week, and conclude on September 1.
