NC-based rapper Shame Gang shares his new short film for his single “Million And One”. Shot by Summit Films and directed by Giancarlo Bauzulli, the film takes place in the Old West, where Shame and his cowboy gang of Erik Lottary and DEVN work together to permeate the town with their music. Grammy-nominated Dreamville rapper Lute plays the film’s antagonist who will stop at nothing to disrupt their plans. With an underlying theme of collaboration, the film reflects the song’s message to artists that there are countless ways to make an impact with your music, in spite of opposing forces.
Speaking about the single, Shame Gang said: “The creative process for ‘Million and One’ came from a variety of collaborative sessions in Charlotte, where multiple artists exchanged ideas and concepts. It was challenging because I had never been in the same room writing with so many different artists at the same time. It was rewarding to be able to assert my songwriting, and the constructive criticism was enriching. We all interpret ideas differently, and brainstorming with so many different artists allowed us to incorporate varied perspectives. The song reminds artists that we have a million ways to be successful in the industry. It’s a reminder that we aren’t going to let people stop us, we’re going to stake a claim, and we’re here to stay.”
