Reel Sung Productions, the multimedia company founded by breakdancing legend Tony “Mr. Wave” Wesley, has announced that GRAMMY Award-winning hip hop icon Nas will appear in the upcoming three-part docuseries Beat Street: Where Are They Now? The official trailer premieres exclusively on Reel Sung Productions’ YouTube channel on Thursday, October 23, at 12 a.m. EDT.
The new series reunites 19 original cast members from the groundbreaking 1984 film Beat Street, which introduced hip hop culture to audiences around the world. Stars Rae Dawn Chong, Guy Davis, and Jon Chardiet return alongside hip hop pioneers Melle Mel, Scorpio, Kool Moe Dee, and Doug E. Fresh. Chong and Davis also serve as advisors, while Chardiet joins the production team as a co-producer.
Nas appears alongside fellow hip hop icons including 2025 GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Roxanne Shanté, producer DJ Toomp, and Ray “Yoda” Murray of Organized Noize; all of whom credit Beat Street as a source of inspiration for their artistry and careers.
