Hip hop celebrities have become targets for special task forces in local police departments in urban areas as well as of the federal government. In gathering research for Hip Hop Task Force Grant found that cities such as New York, Miami, and Los Angeles and the U.S Attorney’s office have not been forthcoming investigating high profile figures in the hip hop music business. This type of scrutiny has enraged the hip hop community. MTV, VIBE and NEWSWEEK have extensively covered the subject.
Corey Grant, CEO of New Breed Films, says, “I was inspired to write the film because I was tired of seeing hip hop films that had no story or substance. I wanted a film that was hip hop but could appeal across the board because of the topicality of the story and its theme of trust, loyalty, and betrayal.” Corey also managed the theatrical release of the film in 3 cities. Hip Hop Task Force is his first feature film. He is currently working on two feature film projects both releasing in 2006.
Available for the first time on DVD, Hip Hop Task Force is available in stores now and is priced at $14.98.
