He is calling the rapper &#8220;a huge creative force&#8221; in shaping the aesthetic of the series, which follows struggling of South Bronx teens during the genesis of hip hop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the great collaborations is that I\u2019ve been working really closely in creating these rhymes, and he\u2019s a producer on the film, with one of the most iconic voices of the \u201890s and that\u2019s Nas,&#8221; Luhrmann said. &#8220;And so Nas has been this other huge creative force in the production. And it\u2019s been playing really, really successfully.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Get Down&#8221; stars Daveed Diggs, Justice Smith, Shameik Moore, Herizen Guardiola, Tremaine Brown Jr., and more. The show is scheduled to premier August 12th on Netflix.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe weren\u2019t sure about it when we began, and we couldn\u2019t do without it now,&#8221; Luhrmann said. &#8220;And NAS has been fantastic in that regard.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During an interview at the Tribeca Film Festival, Baz Luhrmann spoke on Nas&#8217; involvement in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-105169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pG6fW-rmh","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105169"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105169\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
