NEO Studios and TwentyOne14 Media ink Factual Partnership

NEO Studios has inked a partnership with TwentyOne14 Media, owned by Quincy Jones III, to produce unscripted projects. The first will be an educational documentary on Hip-Hop that will star Jones, according to Variety. Previously, Neo Studios developed shows for Prime Video and Discovery+ as well.

TwentyOne14 Media caters to the rapidly-evolving multi-cultural consumer market with film and television content that authentically represents their culture.

All Hip-Hop

Music has always been an expressive medium that people use to express themselves and boost their self-confidence. Hip hop culture has been no different, providing many with the platform to have their voices heard and share their beliefs and feelings with others.

Hip hop was born out of the Bronx's tough and dangerous environment in the '70s, as people sought ways to express their anger through various mediums. At that time, people were dealing with violence, poverty, drugs, and struggle. Through hip hop music they found an outlet for their frustration.

Hip hop has evolved into a powerful culture with four elements: deejaying or turntabling; rapping; graffiti painting; and B-boying, the street dance form of hip hop. This style is characterized by acrobatic movements, upright positions, and footwork.

Dancing to hip hop songs can provide both aerobic and anaerobic benefits for your body. Not only does it give you a great workout, but it also improves coordination and muscle memory.

Furthermore, dancing to hip hop music can have a beneficial effect on one's emotions as well. Not only does it relieve stress and reduce anxiety and depression, but it can also focus on the positive aspects of life. Furthermore, some may even find therapy through dancing the songs.

All Hip-Hop is produced by Quincy Newell's TwentyOne14 Media and global production company Neo Studios, marking their first collaboration.

TwentyOne14 Media is a production and distribution company that specializes in creating content for African American and multi-cultural consumers. Their team has over 30 years of experience marketing to this community, with current projects including content aggregation & distribution management, digital content distribution, scripted/unscripted production - including Shades of Black: an award-winning streaming FAST channel featuring 500 hours of premium studio and independent films; scripted/reality series; as well as powerful documentaries that authentically represent global Black culture.

All Star Comedy Jam

On February 10 at Microsoft Theater in Downtown LA, an event featuring Bill Bellamy, Michael Blackson, Earthquake and Mo'Nique will take place. Plus there will be surprise guests as well as Shaq himself!

Neo Studios and TwentyOne14 Media have announced a collaboration on a television show to be developed with director Quincy Jones III. Previously, Neo and the content firm collaborated on Life After for Prime Video and Legacy: In the Shadow of Greatness for Discovery+.

All Star Comedy Jam is currently the most successful urban comedy brand in America, having achieved great success through five highly rated 1-hour television specials, along with numerous filmed specials and DVDs.

Codeblack Enterprises and Shaquille O'Neal have been producing All Star Comedy Jam-branded entertainment - both filmed specials and live events - since 2009. The shows have generated tremendous buzz within the industry and garnered audience reviews reminiscent of Kings of Comedy and Def Comedy Jam from the late '90s.

All Star Comedy Jam's success can be attributed not just to its quality filmed specials and live shows, but also Shaq's eccentric personality which has cemented him as a household name. In fact, Shaq earned himself both the title of comedic personality of the century and an indelible place in Guinness Book of World Records for being Earth's most famous comedian.
