Rap Sh!t: Seduce & Scheme

This week we’re discussing Issa Rae’s new show “Rap Sh!t,” which centers around two estranged high school friends in Miami who reconnect and form a rap group. After a few drinks, they go on Instagram Live and freestyle the catchy bop “Seduce & Scheme,” which immediately goes viral. Though they have very different views on women in hip hop and what it takes to make it, their desires to rise above their current circumstances fuel them to make the partnership work. Their central story mirrors Miami duo, City Girls, and pays homage to the rap goddesses who have come up in the age of social media.

Also… Kam has evidently been watching a lot of “Top Boy” :-|

"Rap Sh!t" airs Thursday nights on HBOMax.
