Back in the summer it was revealed that FX had picked up an animated series about a gay white rapper. Now we get our first look at the show with a red-band trailer.
The comedy comes from the creative teams behind Eastbound & Down and Archer, and follows ‘a gay white rapper fresh out of prison with a new message and new skills, which he will use in his quest for redemption and domination’. You can certainly see what that means in the trailer.
The voice cast will include Grant Dekernion, Bobby Moynihan (Saturday Night Live), Hannibal Buress (Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell), Michael Pena (Gangster Squad), Nick Swardson (Parks and Recreation), Danny McBride (Eastbound & Down), Kathryn Hahn (Anchorman), and Method Man (The Sitter).
Grant Dekernion will also serve as writer and executive producer, and he will also be writing and rapping the songs. Danny McBride, Jody Hill and David Gordon Green from Rough House Pictures (Eastbound & Down) are Executive Producers. Adam Reed and Matt Thompson of Floyd County Productions (Archer) are Executive Producers and their company will animate the series.
The show premieres at the end of January in the US on FX. [Read more…]
