What is PICK UP THE MIC?

A surprising, fast-paced documentary on the world of queer rappers. Featuring searing public performances and raw, revealing interviews with the community’s most significant players, the film captures an unapologetic underground music movement just as it explodes into the mainstream - defying the music industry's most homophobic genre in the process.

PICK UP THE MIC has played in more than fifty festivals throughout the U.S., and abroad, including screenings in England, Germany, Canada, Australia and Brazil. Screenings have often featured live appearances by many of the film’s artists, who have been met with overwhelming enthusiasm and appreciation for their work.
