The UB Interview: Brandon T. Jackson Talks ‘Trap City’

“Trap City” hits select theaters this Friday December 13th followed by VOD, via Kyyba Films, in partnership with Anchored Lens Productions.

“Trap City” takes viewers on an intense journey through fame, power, resilience, and redemption. Directed by Tel K. Ganesan, the film delves deep into the complex world of the music industry, spotlighting Brandon T. Jackson as Deshawn, a young artist struggling to escape a life marked by violence and limitations.

Deshawn’s journey, marred by tough moral choices, is a powerful portrayal of the sacrifices he must make to rise above his circumstances.

Adding star power to this urban drama is rapper-turned-actor Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins in a powerful lead role as “Reverend Lylee.” A role that showcases Jenkins‘ compelling depth as he navigates moral complexities in a gritty urban landscape.

Featuring an ensemble cast that includes veteran actor Clifton Powell, Erica Pinkett, Omar Gooding, and international stars Yogi Babu,GV Prakash Kumar, Nepoleon Duraisamy, and Tarina Patel.

The film is directed, produced and written by Tel K. Ganesan and executive produced by Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins, Ashwin T. Ganesan, G.B. Theos, Nasik Rav (Yisrael) and David E. Taylor.
