Season two of Rap Sh!t is a wild ride. In the first season of the Issa Rae–helmed series, viewers followed the antics of estranged best friends and aspiring rappers Shawna and Mia . With Rae’s knack for ideating relatable main characters, her depictions of everyday dating dilemmas, and all the spicy social media debates that follow , it comes as no surprise that Rap Sh!t has earned itself a dedicated fan base too.
Are there any actors or actresses you are inspired by that you looked to in preparation for this season?KaMillion: I always ride for the greatest of all time, the legendary Taraji P. Henson. To me, no urban Black film or TV show has topped Baby Boy scene when she was with Tyrese. Ever since then, Taraji’s just been my inspiration. Taraji is one of those actresses who is like myself, we come from similar backgrounds.
