Reelblack, Philadelphia’s only ongoing film series dedicated to the promotion
and preservation of “Good Movies ‘Bout Black Folks” celebrates
Black Music Month with the Philly Premiere of THE ART OF 16 BARS. This is the
latest film from producer Quincy Jones III (QD 3) and director Peter Spirer.

The Art of 16 Bars: It is raw, blistering talent that defines the legendary
MCs. But going from hungry amateur to rich professional takes more... much more!
From the filmmakers who brought you The MC: Why We Do It, Beef, Beef II, The
Freshest Kids and Rhyme and Reason, learn from the biggest MCs of our time exactly
how they achieved success. They share their approach to live performances and
how they put together a demo tape, got signed and dealt with labels as well
as their hard-won behind-the-scenes knowledge about how the industry really
works.

Includes interviews with Kanye West, 50 Cent, Common, Raekwon, Nas, Rakim,
KRS-One, Jay-Z, Slick Rick, Jadakiss, Talib Kweli, Twista and more...
