Peep this web series by directors Kuang Lee and Emil Lin call “Thug Life”. The series takes a satirical look at the ridiculousness of the hip-hop world. Join Wallace “Thug Life” Williams, Stanford-grad turned gangsta-rapper, as he journeys to the center of the rap industry. Will A&R exec Anita “Suge White” Stone be able to transform Wallace from 80’s-loving wimp to gun-toting thug… or will he get revealed as a fraud?

Update: Emil tells us there will be 10 episodes total. Some have already been shot, so look for them soon.
