“The BMF Documentary: Blowing Money Fast” is a limited event, half-hour episodic documentary series about the infamous Black Mafia Family, as told by former members, insiders, associates, and celebrity figures close to the family. From Detroit corner boys, to notorious drug kingpins, and hip hop kingmakers, the eight-part docuseries will chart the meteoric rise and fall of BMF founders: Demetrius “Big Meech” and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory, two brothers who built one of the largest cocaine empires in American history. The fabled story spans four decades across five major U.S. cities, immersing viewers in a network of crisscrossing relationships between crime, hip hop, and law enforcement.

The series affords viewers exclusive access inside all the epic family feuds, high stakes drug deals, suspicious murders, and champagne drenched parties attended by hip-hop royalty. The docuseries comes on the heels of STARZ’s scripted drama series “BMF,” a multi-season drama that addressed the early Detroit years in its first season. The docuseries will cover the full arc of the BMF story, from the Flenory family’s rise in the early ‘80s in Detroit, through the peak years during the late 90’s and early aughts, to the end of their reign in 2006, up to present day.

The format combines Jigsaw Production’s award-winning non-fiction storytelling with exclusive access to the Flenory Brothers and former BMF members facilitated by G-Unit Film & Television, while journalists and consultants close to the key players provide the production authenticity, historical, and cultural context. Additionally, the series will feature exclusive interviews, never-before-seen archival footage, original vérité footage, celebrity interviews and original impressionistic imagery inspired by first-hand accounts.

Documentary filmmaker Margaret Brown (“The Order of Myths”, “The Great Invisible”) returns to her hometown of Mobile, Alabama to document the search for and historic discovery of “The Clotilda,” the last known ship to arrive in the United States, illegally carrying enslaved Africans.

After a century of secrecy and speculation, the 2019 discovery of the ship turns attention toward the descendant community of Africatown and presents a moving portrait of a community actively grappling with and fighting to preserve their heritage while examining what justice looks like today.

A special jury prize winner at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, Descendant is a Higher Ground and Participant production, in association with Two One Five Entertainment.

A father (Marlon Wayans) and his teenage daughter (Priah Ferguson) are forced to team up and save their town after an ancient and mischievous spirit causes Halloween decorations to come to life and wreak havoc.

From celebrated writer and film historian Elvis Mitchell, IS THAT BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU?!? is both a documentary and deeply personal essay.

The film examines the craft and power of cinema from a perspective often overlooked: the African American contribution to films released from the landmark era of the 70s. It is a deep dive into the impact that point of view had on movies, as well as popular culture, and serves as a love letter to film, posing questions that have never been asked, let alone answered.

Crucial artistic voices, including director Charles Burnett, Samuel L. Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, Laurence Fishburne, Zendaya and others, offer their distinctive prism on the creators and films that dazzled and inspired.

The film provides insight into the history of Black representation going back to the earliest days of cinema, and the cultural impact of witnessing unapologetic Blackness.

Produced by Steven Soderbergh, David Fincher, Angus Wall and Ciara Lacy, IS THAT BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU?!? marks Mitchell’s directorial debut.

An amazingly fresh and unique series that pulls you in immediately. Definitely binge worthy! And we thought “Hill Street Blues” was edgy! The Hip Hop Culture is throughout. From the Jay Z episode titles and music to the hood vernacular that is traditionally hidden from mainstream unless accessed from Hip Hop records. The series is extremely relatable and it works within the classy, intellectual world of attorney at law Jax Stewart.

In Reasonable Doubt, you’ll judge Jax Stewart for her questionable ethics and wild interpretations of the law … until you’re the one in trouble.

Then you’ll see her for what she is: the most brilliant and fearless defense attorney in Los Angeles who bucks the justice system at every chance she gets.

Emayatzy Evett Corinealdi shines bright reminiscent of her power role in “Ballers.” Her supporting cast and guest stars are stellar as well. This Series is rapidly leaning toward Instant Classic status.

Emayatzy Evett Corinealdi is an American actress. She is best known for her leading role in the Ava DuVernay film Middle of Nowhere and Miles Ahead, and The Invitation. and Tessie Graham in Hand of God, Candace Brewer in Ballers, and Tia Young in The Red Line.

Reasonable Doubt is now streaming exclusively on HULU.

You’ve had this story in your back pocket for a long time. What was the original catalyst for the idea and how did it involve August Wilson?

TYLER PERRY
Many years ago Seven Guitars was playing at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta and I couldn’t afford to go, so I snuck in at intermission. There was an after party where I got a chance to sit down with August Wilson and I told him what I wanted to do – all my hopes and dreams. He was very encouraging of the story that I wanted to write, so I went home and started writing A Jazzman’s Blues that night. I had this story for a while, but his way of storytelling in Seven Guitars was very inspirational to me. He was explaining how all things are art and I should absolutely go for it. He was very, very kind.

You have a very fresh face in Solea Pfeiffer, an accomplished stage actress playing her first film role as Leanne. And though Joshua Boone is more seasoned this is certainly one of his largest roles to date. Why were they just right for Leanne and Bayou?

TYLER PERRY
I’ve always been known for breaking new talent and I didn’t want
Jazzman to be any different.
First of all, I was blown away when I saw Solea, I thought, “Oh my God, this is Leanne.” I saw it immediately. And to see the level of talent that she was able to bring to it was really phenomenal.

Then to have Joshua come along and be as brilliant as he is and have this level of, just not only acting as a talent, but just the way he was able to become and settle into Bayou, blew my mind. And then on
top of that, he could sing! The whole cast is amazing. Ryan Eggold who I worked with in “The Single,” Moms Club, Amirah Vann, Austin Scott. For actors to train and study and dive into and get every inch
and iota of what a character is, I just don’t see a lot of young talent doing that and these guys and girls were phenomenal at it. That’s why I was able to paint so many colors.

Given how long you have had this idea, it is an interesting time to release A JAZZMAN’S BLUES considering how timely so many of its issues are. How does it feel to be releasing it in this moment?

TYLER PERRY
It’s a wonderful feeling, but also it’s tragic in the sense of, it showed up again in my life and I’m doing it at a time when there are so many people who are trying to eliminate the truth of the history of us as
African American people. Some people who saw it said to me, “It’s a love story, but it’s so tragic.” And I was explaining to them, “Well, for us as Black people in America, a lot of our love stories at this
time were tragic. We didn’t have the option to run away and live happily ever after. There were many things we had to overcome.” So I don’t want to water down our history or do away with it because I think
it’s very important that we remember and acknowledge it and understand it.
While it is fiction, there is a real true story feel to this film and it oscillates through multiple tones. There is the drama and fear around racism in the deep South but there are also lighter moments in the musical interludes in the juke joint and the club and real elements of joy and humor. From a
writing and directing perspective how do you calibrate those tones into a cohesive whole?

For me, growing up in New Orleans, that is the way I saw life. Life was always surrounded by all kinds of music and all different generations and levels of people. To show us having levity and having joy inside of those moments, is so much a part of the Black experience because no matter what was going on with us, there was joy. And I think it was very
important that all of these characters were able to experience and express that and also show the world how embracing that is and how encompassing that is for us when we’re in the safety of our own
element.

But literally right outside the door was danger. Even today, it’s sad to say, literally right outside the door, we’re faced with dangers, a lot of us, because of the color of our skin. So I loved being able to
show the different sides of us, that despite how much society tries to break us, we still find joy. Visually, the film is evocative of the sultriness and humidity of the South while capturing its natural
beauty. Where did you shoot and what was the aesthetic you were trying to capture? All of the interiors were shot at my studio and all of the exteriors were shot in Savannah and Macon, Georgia. And yes, there’s just something about Spanish moss on an oak tree, blowing in the wind that tells the story within itself. And to understand that these trees that we were shooting amongst lived during this time. They bear witness to what it was really like, so dropping these houses and these sets inside of that kind of history of trees around us, it really helped to tell the story.

Do you think the film actually taking so long to come to fruition actually helped in terms of honing your skills as a director?

TYLER PERRY
Yes, I’m glad I didn’t do it 10, 20 years ago. It took the years of experience I had of being behind the camera and really understanding what that meant. It took working with directors like David Fincher and
Adam McKay to really understand just the power of using the camera to tell a story. For me, in the beginning of my career, it was just about using the camera to tell the story, but I didn’t necessarily use it as a paintbrush. And my cinematographer Brett Pawlak, he read the script, we talked about it, I told him what I wanted it to look like and what I wanted it to feel like and he was absolutely brilliant in understanding it and helping me paint the image.

You also got to work with your buddy Debbie Allen on the choreography. How was that experience?

TYLER PERRY
I brought the script to Debbie maybe 20 years ago. She was working at Dreamworks at the time and she loved it. We tried to get it done and nothing happened at the time. But then I brought it back around to
her and I said, “Listen, I’m going to do this film and I’d love for you to do choreography.” She’s like, “Are you kidding me?” So to work with a legend? It was wonderful because Debbie Allen is dance. And to have her create these incredible numbers that really sold the whole moment. I was very, very fortunate to get that opportunity.
Speaking of legends, Terence Blanchard lending his skills with “Paper Airplanes” must have also been exciting.

TYLER PERRY
Yes, it was very important to me to gather the best of the best. My New Orleans homeboy Terence Blanchard’s body of work is just phenomenal. He understands and gets jazz fully, so to have him be a part of it was another diamond in the ring, just to make it what I always imagined it could be. And what was it like working with Ruth B.? I was overjoyed to work with Ruth B. who co-wrote and performed our song “Paper Airplanes.” This was a song we wanted to be an instant classic that would sound at home in 1947 as well as today. A great song is an extension of dialogue and “Paper Airplanes” is exactly that. It speaks of heartbreak and the longing of love that spans distance, time, and tragedy. Ruth B. brought all of that to this magnificent
song.

You re-teamed with Aaron Zigman for the score with whom you’ve worked several times. Do you feel you have a shorthand with him?

TYLER PERRY
He and I have been working together for many years and I am always blown away by him. He’s another person who read the script 20 years ago and thought, “We have to do this one day.” So when the
opportunity came, I was like, “I’ve got to go back to Aaron.” I think that he really helps frame it all. What do you hope viewers take away from the film? The story and the passion of these people. And even though it’s a fictional movie to understand that these people actually existed, these struggles were common, these things actually happened. And if
there’s a reverence for the past and we shouldn’t let anyone whitewash it and turn it into something that it wasn’t. If people start to realize how important it is that we maintain and tell these kinds of stories,
then I think that it would be all that I want it to be.

The Grammy-nominated rapper partners with Budweiser to release inspiring anthem for the upcoming FIFA World Cup™

LISTEN HERE

(Los Angeles, CA – September 23, 2022) – Today, Grammy-nominated rapper, mogul, and philanthropist Lil Baby is partnering with Budweiser to release “The World Is Yours To Take,” a new single that will be featured on the first-ever Official FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ Soundtrack and in campaign content from Budweiser, The Official Beer of the FIFA World Cup™. The high-energy anthem samples the iconic chorus from the hit song “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears For Fears, inspiring fans to begin their journey towards greatness. The pop song transcends generations and geography, punctuating the go-getter energy Budweiser and Lil Baby were after for the collaborative track.

Listen to ‘The World Is Yours To Take’ HERE and watch the lyric music video HERE. 

Four years ago, sports fans around the world were gathering for the 2018 FIFA World Cup just as Lil Baby began on his path to superstardom with the release of his first album. Now, the Atlanta native and globally recognized rap phenomenon is using the global stage of the FIFA World Cup and partnership with Budweiser to reflect on his journey and inspire fans to go for it.

“My new track with Budweiser for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Soundtrack is a special one for me. It’s about the journey we’ve all been on over the last few years and celebrating what’s next. When I started in music in 2017, I went all in on a dream that brought me to where I am now, and that’s what I want fans to feel when they hear the song. I hope it makes you feel like you’re walking out onto the pitch at the World Cup making moves toward your own dreams, whatever that means to you,” said Lil Baby.

One of only eight singles featured on the Official FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Soundtrack, ‘The World Is Yours To Take’ will be celebrated on Lil Baby’s 28 birthday with a live performance at the Budweiser Hotel at the tournament. Budweiser and Lil Baby aren’t stopping at a global hit single; the pair will team up with amazing artists around the world to release new versions of the song and shoot the music video at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar that will take place from November 20 until December 18, 2022.

ABOUT LIL BABY:

Some artists define a genre, but Lil Baby defines a generation. The GRAMMY Award-winning rapper has smashed records, made history, and impacted the course of modern hip-hop with his instantly identifiable and inimitable style. He has garnered dozens of multi platinum certifications and tens of billions of streams as arguably the biggest new rapper to emerge this decade. Following the success of his platinum full-length debut Harder Than Ever in 2018, he seized #1 on the Billboard Top 200 with 2020’s My Turn, becoming “the year’s #1 selling and #1 streaming album in the US.” At first, it cemented him as “2020’s first and only artist to go double-platinum,” but it has since gone quadruple-platinum and has logged 85 weeks in the top 10 of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart – marking the longest top-tier run in the chart’s history. 

He notably tied Prince and Paul McCartney for Billboard Hot 100 hits and Taylor Swift for “most weeks atop the Billboard Top 200 in 2020” with a total of 6. Out of eight nominations, he scored his first GRAMMY® Award in 2022. He has appeared on the covers of Rolling Stone and the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players Issue in addition to receiving honors from VEVO, Rap Caviar, the Apple Music Awards, and more. He teamed up with Lil Durk for The Voice of the Heroes, marking his second #1 debut on the Billboard Top 200. It’s just the beginning though. He’s bound to revolutionize the culture again with his third album in 2022. Most recently, he released “Right On” and “In A Minute” which both songs debuted on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. This feat puts Lil Baby in rare territory, making him the youngest of only 12 artists to have ever landed 100 or more songs on the Hot 100. This generation belongs to Lil Baby.
