FEATURING 2018 GRAMMY NOMINEES RAPSODY AND LOGIC

From Mass Appeal, Rapture stares directly into the bright light that hip hop music culture shines on the world and doesnโ€™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 โ€“ Rapture dives into the artistsโ€™ 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.

โ€œWay back, when hip hop music culture was in its gestational phase, the powerful message therein didnโ€™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,โ€ said Sacha Jenkins of Mass Appeal. โ€œIt is a great honor for Mass Appeal to work with Netflix to produce our new series Rapture. Weโ€™ve been telling hip hop music stories since โ€™96, and as natives we feel it is our duty to do the movement justice. Rapture is banginโ€™. Straight up.โ€
