“Are y’all ready for the next big, must-see, fun show this summer? Issa Rae questions viewers as the latest trailer for her upcoming comedy series Rap Sh!t loads. The clip finds stars, Aida Osman, as Shawna and KaMillion as Mia reuniting to form a rap duo, and hoping to find success on their own terms.

“I just want to make music work for me,” expresses Osman’s character. “But all these female rappers have their a*s out,” as her growing frustrations with a male rapper who literally burns money becomes more evident.

Another character, played by Daniel Augustin, encourages her “you could have a million views too” as they watch a twerk-filled rap video.


The original comedy series is set to premiere on July 21 on HBO Max, home of Issa Rae’s acclaimed network debut Insecure. Rap Sh!t kicks off with two episodes and will be followed by one episode each week, concluding on September 1 for a total of eight.
