LINER NOTES / THE ARTIST

KNOWLEDGE / DISCIPLINE / PURPOSE

“The music and the films come from the same place: telling the truth the way I see it.”

Islam Rap God is a Richmond-based hip-hop artist and independent filmmaker working across sound and cinema. His music draws from East Coast boom bap, conscious thought, and the city that shaped his voice.

As founder of Visions Filmworks, he carries the same independent discipline from the booth to the screen—writing the story, building the world, and seeing the vision through.
