Kyyba Films, in partnership with Anchored Lens Productions, proudly announces the nationwide theatrical release of the highly anticipated urban drama Trap City on December 13, 2024. The announcement is accompanied by the debut of an exclusive first-look trailer that promises an electrifying cinematic experience.

Trap City stars Grammy-nominated rapper and New York Times bestselling author Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins in a career-defining role as Reverend Lylee. The film offers a powerful narrative of fame, power, resilience, and redemption. Jeezy‘s compelling portrayal of this morally complex character bridges the worlds of music and film, delivering an unforgettable performance. “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.

Joining Jeezy is the magnetic Brandon T. Jackson (Tropic Thunder), who takes on the role of Deshawn, a young artist navigating the gritty realities of the music industry while trying to escape a life entrenched in violence and impossible choices. Together, their performances anchor a story that holds a mirror to the struggles and triumphs of inner-city life. The cast also features powerhouse performances from Clifton Powell (Ray, Saints & Sinners), Erica Pinkett (All Eyez on Me, BMF), Omar Gooding (Baby Boy, Smart Guy) and international stars Yogi Babu, GV Prakash Kumar, Nepoleon Duraisamy, and Tarina Patel.

Written, directed, and produced by Tel K. Ganesan, the film serves as a stark exploration of society’s obsession with fame and power, juxtaposed with the resilience of the human spirit. Ganesan, who has described Trap City as a “movement,” emphasizes the film’s deeper message. “Trap City holds a mirror to society’s allure of fame and power. It reflects the intricate tapestry of contemporary life, shedding light on how power can uplift or shatter the human spirit,” said Ganesan.
