It will definitely reflect the creativity, love and
families in and around the NAWF side of Atlanta where we grew up.” Quavo said
in a statement.
Quality Control Music CEO Pierre Thomas and COO Kevin Lee,
Capitol Music Group SVP Brian Nolan, VP Ryan Allingham and Dan Altmann, along
with Quavo will also be on the production team.
Kevin Lee stated that children seeing themselves in the
faces and situations on the episodes is important and inspiring to him.
"When I was growing up there was very little media
that had brown and black-skinned kids feeling heard or seen and the ones that
did stand out and served as a crucial roadmap through our childhoods,” Lee
said.
Lee said he is about inclusive stories that can address all
kinds of situations that kids of all ethnic and financial backgrounds
experience and to give them a common tool to learn and grow.
"These episodes will impact because they are
educational and positive but with the dopest visuals and sounds our iconic rap
culture can provide!” Lee added.
Quavo isn't just a rap artist but also an actor. He has
made guest appearances in the show "Atlanta" on FX and
"Star" on Fox.
