Unsigned
Directed by
Ri-Karlo Handy
"It will shock you and entertain you! You owe it to yourself, and hip-hop, to see it!” -Vapors
“Unsigned does for Hip Hop music industry what Hoop Dreams did for basketball, and more” -Independent Film Quarterly
“For every rapper who gets that coveted record deal, there are thousands more who are trying. Unsigned documents their struggles to get heard and the politics of the music business.” -XXL
“Unsigned” navigates the hip-hop music industry from the eyes of the many unsigned artists so desperately want to get in. The movie shows a thriving hip-hop movement that spans the globe. It starts on the streets of New York where mix tapes are the currency of the local talent, to Houston, where MC Battles separate the boys from the men, to Iraq where American soldiers freestyle in the midst of battle, and to Africa where new recording studios pop up every day. Unsigned is the story you never hear, showing artists at the top of their game and the frustrations and challenges they face from a merciless music industry.
