Rap is mainstream with the hallmark of youth music. It is important not to sell out, says Veselý

“Rap Story is basically a feature film,” says screenwriter and music publicist Karel Veselý about the documentary series on the history of Czech rap. The series has ten ten-minute episodes and was filmed by Czech Television. “Rappers are mainstream nowadays, but they still have the hallmark of subculture and music for young people. They benefit from not being in the big media. It’s important not to sell yourself and do it your way, “he adds.
