The film, which screened at such major festivals as, DOC NYC, and the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, pulls back the curtain on a group lo-fi young artists, who boast a rebellious punk energy along with their colorful facial tattoos and penchant for prescription drug use. It’s a rising generation of talent such as Smokepurpp, Lil Xan, XXXTentacion, Lil Peep and Bhad Bhabie, all of whom have disrupted the music industry and used new technologies to grow their audience.
“I couldn’t be more excited to partner with Utopia for the release of ‘American Rapstar,’ a film that I believe fits right in with their slate of bold, provocative and fearless releases,” director Justin Staple said. “’American Rapstar’ presents an inside look at one of the most influential music scenes of the last decade — filled with young and boisterous characters, who will be remembered for their impact on modern pop culture forever.
“‘American Rapstar’ is a fascinating, emotional, and deeply resonant exploration of not only a globally influential music movement powered by youth culture and technology, but also the generation who both produces and consumes it,” says Danielle DiGiacomo, Utopia’s head of content. “It is a riveting and important film and cultural document with which Utopia is proud to be partnering on.”
