Trap City is a microcosm of police violence

After a successful outing with their production venture Devil’s Night, Kyyba Films Tel K Ganesan is ready with an engaging entertainer titled Trap City that features top Tamil actor Napoleon, actor – music composer GV Prakash with popular Hollywood star Brandon T Jackson playing the lead. Founded by Tel K Ganesan and GB Thimotheose, Kyyba Films is a major film production company based in Michigan.

Plans are on to release Trap City in theatres across the globe. Richard Burchell directs the venture. Besides Jackson, Napoleon and GV Prakash, the other cast includes Erica Pickett, Clifton Powell, Juhahn Jones, Denise L A White and Tarina Patel.
Trap City is the tale of a struggling rapper working as a drop man for a drug kingpin. Jackson, who portrays the rapper, records a song that becomes a viral sensation just before his arrest. Though his music fame intensifies because of his crime, a near fatal shooting forces him to face the greatest choice of his life.

Coincidentally, the incidents in the film can be related to recent police violence stories that hit the headlines. Be it the George Floyd killing in Minneapolis or custodial deaths of a father and son at a police station in Tamil Nadu.
Filmed in Nashville TN, the music score and soundtrack features former Eminem’s D12 bandmate Swifty Mcvay as well as Brandon T Jackson, Omar Gooding, Project Pet, Lazarus, Sarkar Musik, Psychon, Jiim, Big Gemini, Sa Roc, Nitesh Aher, Awessum Frankie Itzkatto, G V Prakash and Lesle Lewis.

“Trap City combines elements of good old-fashioned storytelling with the dynamics of hip hop, incorporating the trending themes of snitching, rap music, police violence and personalities going viral,” reveals the director.
