It looks like Quavo will be expanding his talents and moving on over to television as he is set to produce a new animated series.
According to Variety, Quavo is set to develop an animated series for children between the ages of 8-12. He will work on the project along with Marginal Mediaworks and record labels Quality Control Music and Motown. The series will reportedly be “set in Atlanta’s hip-hop music and culture scene.”
Quavo talked about the project in a statement and said, “I have long seen how hip-hop, as well as our music, really impacts kids. I’ve loved animation my whole life, whether on TV or in movies, and I wanted my first jump into this premium content world to be a show just for kids. It will definitely reflect the creativity, love, and families in and around the nawf side of Atlanta, where we grew up.”
Quavo will serve as an executive producer on the series and it will mark Quality Control Music’s expansion into film and television.
Kevin “Coach” Lee, the COO of Quality Control Music said, “What’s important and inspiring to me is that all kids will be seeing themselves in the faces and situations of these episodes. 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 stood out and served as a crucial roadmap through our childhoods. I’m about inclusive stories that 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.”
