Netflix has unveiled a new trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s forthcoming original series, The Get Down. The brand new clip, which features footage from the Nas-produced series, depicts a beat-down yet hungry South Bronx in 1977.
The Nas track featured in the background appears to be a brand new song by the rapper, with lyrics dedicated to the historic time period. Back in April, Luhrmann stated that Nas is a “huge creative force” behind the show, which will recount the birth of hip-hop in New York in the 1970s. Starring Tremain Brown Jr., Justice Smith, Shameik Moore, and Skylan Brooks, the series will center around a group of teenagers who make a life-changing pact that forever changes the world. The Get Down premieres only on Netflix on August 12.
