HBO Max has announced the stars of “Rap Sh*t,” their forthcoming original series from Issa Rae.
“Rap Sh*t” follows two estranged high school friends from Miami, Shawna and Mia, who reunite to form a rap group.
The streamer placed an eight-episode order to the half-hour comedy series from the “Insecure” co-creator, Syreeta Singleton and City Girls hip hop duo Yung Miami and JT.
