“City of God’s Son” is an experimental hip-hop opera starring Nas, Jay Z, Ghostface, Biggie Smalls, Raekwon, Samuel Jackson, Delroy Lindo, and Laurence Fishburne. It is a crime drama/coming of age tale of three fictitious characters growing up in a crime ridden city. This project explores the icon of the gangster in modern media, and weaves musical history and gangster film history into an operatic music based story of brotherhood and survival. A homage to 90’s New York hip-hop, “City of God’s Son” is the redefinition of the remix. Featuring legendary soul singer Joe Bataan.
City Of God's Son: is a blend of multiple media and art genres and it explores new grounds for unconventional storytelling and ultimately gives rise to what (Kenzo Hakuta, it's creator) terms the world's first "Beat Cinematic". Kenzo arrived at this term by combining various mediums including 3D audio, multiple musical genres, and sound bites. His aim is to create his own cross-medium ensemble cast, and out of many mediums, to create something epic and new.
