Insecure favorite Issa Rae gave us a trailer for her new comedy series Rap shit!.

Set to debut on HBO Max next month, the premise of this one features Shawna and Mia (played by newcomers Aida Osman and KaMillion); distant high school friends from Miami who form a rap group.

This one-minute teaser (above) reveals the genesis of their musical journey: a boozy song in the car escalates very quickly as they soon take America by storm.

Rae, who viewers will recognize as Issa Dee in Insecureestablished Rap shit!but will not appear on the screen.

Speaking to the series finale of Insecure Last October, the actress herself discussed an alternate ending which was ultimately scrapped.

“I think it was a good finale on its own. However, I just didn’t feel like it fit the story we’ve been telling for five seasons, let alone this season. It was the ideal version. I wanted to make a more realistic and character-accurate ending.”

Showrunner Prentice Penny echoed Rae’s sentiments, adding, “HBO has such a history of people having strong opinions about Endgames. For us, we were like, ‘OK look, we obviously want this show to be satisfying. , but satisfactory for us.’

“Trying to figure out what people want is super hard, and how can you achieve that?”

“It just freed us from all the pressure of tying it in a bow,” he continued. “I feel like we told all the stories we could, in the best way possible, and just gave people what we thought was our best.

“I don’t know what more we could have done apart from doing an hour.”

Oh, what if you hadn’t seen Rae in the Apple TV+ anthology Roar earlier this year, go remedy that right this second.

Rap shit! premieres Thursday, July 21 on HBO Max.
