Vertigo Films and Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment are delighted to announce THE GREAT HIP HOP HOAX will be available on DVD in the UK on the 23rd September 2013.
After causing a storm at the Edinburgh Film festival back in June and making a name for best friends Billy Boyd and Gavin Bain, the film is an intriguing story of two talented youngsters reflecting on their journey to con the music industry.
The USA, the land of hip hop music and making it big, gave birth to the Californian duo Silibil n’ Brains, a partnership set to hit the big time and take the music industry by storm. However, what the hordes of fans, high-up execs and people from all over the world didn’t know was… it was all a hoax!
A story of made-up identity, cover-ups and desperation tells us how two down to earth Scottish lads became the face of American hip hop, tearing their lives apart as they are thrust from the Highlands straight into the limelight.
Showing us how to fake it with style, THE GREAT HIP HOP HOAX is the step by step of how to get rich, or how you have to try lying…
