Deep in the heart of Texas, five Black musicians reflect on art, identity, and the radical act of making noise in a world that wants them silent.

shut the fuck up, when WE speak

Five Black musicians in Texas turn noise into resistance in a world that wants them quiet.

In 2014, a data scientist released a study entitled: “The Largest Vocabulary in Hip Hop," comparing Shakespeare’s unique vocabulary words to that of 85 different lyricists. He found that the Wu-Tang Clan would beat Shakespeare in a vocabulary battle. In 2020, as the global pandemic kicked off, Director Ryen McPherson started analyzing lyrics from over 700 songs by Wu-Tang and their affiliated members and created a massive lyrical database from which the lyrics were transformed into scripted dialogue. No Artificial Intelligence was allowed in the process. From this database, a modern-day film adaptation of “Romeo &amp; Juliet” was produced, making it the first film to ever be created with 100% lyrical-driven dialogue.
