FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE QD3 ENTERTAINMENT TO RELEASE DOCUMENTARY EXPLORING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN HIP-HOP AND GUN VIOLENCE Los Angeles, Calif., November 19, 2014 - QD3 Entertainment has announced the digital release of “Number One With a Bullet” on Tuesday, December 9, through Los Angeles-based film distributor GoDigital. The feature-length documentary examines gun violence in urban America. It follows five rappers who have survived being shot (Young Buck, B Real, Obie Trice, The Last Mr. Bigg and 40 Glocc), as they take viewers back to the scenes of the crimes and recount their darkest hours. Interviews with hip-hop luminaries (Mos Def, KRS One, Ice Cube, Prodigy, Fat Joe, Damon Dash and more), community activists, police officers and doctors provide context and expose the ongoing impact of gun violence in the streets, and in the music. Filmed on location across the country — from LA to Philadelphia, from Detroit to Alabama — the documentary provides a firsthand look at the intersection of guns and hip-hop music. “I’m glad the world is going to get a look at this film,” said Young Buck, G-Unit rapper and gunshot survivor. “I survived the bullet wounds, so I know the severity of the matter. I want the kids to see this and get the message here.” Principal filming took place in 2008, followed by a well-received festival run in 2009, including SXSW, Urbanworld and St. Louis International Film Festival. The film has not been available to a wider audience until now. “There have been so many shootings and gun-related incidents the last few years,” said Quincy Jones III, executive producer and founder of QD3 Entertainment. “These issues are on a lot of people’s minds. So earlier this year, we went back and recut and updated the film for an official release. I think it provides a perspective on gun violence that you don’t usually see.” This tell-all documentary goes past the bravado to give viewers a raw and unfiltered look at the real consequences of gun violence. Experience the pain, trauma, emotion and rehabilitation of surviving a bullet wound through the eyes of those who lived it, as well as the intensive care units that treat them, and the long-lasting effect it has on the community. “Number One With a Bullet” was directed by documentarian Jim Dziura and produced by Quincy Jones III (Lil Wayne’s “The Carter,” “Crips & Bloods: Made in America,” and the “BEEF” series). QD3 Entertainment partnered with Windsong Productions for the updated release. The film’s score was composed by acclaimed hip-hop producer Blockhead. The film will be released digitally on Tuesday, December 9 at major online outlets, including iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Google Play, VUDU, PlayStation, Xbox and Vimeo On Demand.

Some artists may glorify that, but other artists either decry it or offer it as a tragic reality. In hip-hop trends build off of music and music builds off of trends in a cyclical manner.

Dr. Kelton Edmonds was my advisor for this project and I appreciate him helping me to study hip- hop. Dr. Susan Jasko was my advisor at California University of Pennsylvania since 2005 and encouraged me to stay in the Honors Program. Dr. Drew McGukin had the initiative to bring me to the Honors Program in the first place. I wanted to acknowledge everybody in the Honors Department (Dr. Ed Chute, Dr. Erin Mountz, Mrs. Kim Orslene, and Dr. Don Lawson). Doing a Red Hot Chili Peppers project in 2008 for Mr. Max Gonano was also very important. I would be remiss if I left out the encouragement of my family and my friends, who kept assuring me things would work out when I was never certain.
