Originally shot over 10 years ago, and considered the first film to document hip hop globally, the project has mushroomed into a rare archive and video survey of pioneering artists and communities around the world during the turn of the 21st century including Questlove (The Roots), dead prez, Method Man, Roots Manuva (UK), DJ Muro (Japan), Oxmo Puccino (France) and Marcelo D2 (Brazil) who have since emerged as global cultural icons.

After being screened over the years as a work in progress, Hip Hop: The New World Order is finally being released and will premiere at the BlackStar Film Festival before launching an international promotional tour.
