“Trap City sheds light on the realities of fame, power, and the sacrifices we make to overcome adversity. This film is a powerful narrative that I know will resonate with audiences,” said Jeezy.
Alongside Jeezy is Brandon T. Jackson (Tropic Thunder), playing Deshawn, a young artist torn between his aspirations in music and the harsh realities of life entrenched in violence.
Brandon’s raw and magnetic performance captures the intense struggles of navigating the inner-city music scene.
The film also boasts standout performances from:

‘Trap City’ Reflects Life’s Highs & Lows
Trap City, written and directed by Tel K. Ganesan, dives deep into society’s obsession with fame and the human spirit’s resilience in the face of adversity.
Described as a “movement” by Ganesan, the film holds up a mirror to the double-edged nature of power, fame, and ambition.
The plot follows a struggling rapper working as a drug kingpin’s “drop man.”
Just as a song he records becomes a viral hit, he’s arrested, sending his newfound fame into overdrive.
But fame comes at a cost, and when his life is threatened, he must decide whether to destroy his career by going to prison or risk it all by testifying against a dangerous crime boss.
Executive Producers & Release Details
The film is executive produced by Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins, Ashwin T. Ganesan, G.B. Theos, Nasik Rav (Yisrael), and David E. Taylor.
Following its theatrical release, Trap City will become available on Video On Demand (VOD), allowing a broader audience to experience its powerful narrative.
