“SBH and Audible are at the forefront of the audio renaissance, often times TV and film companies don’t SEE the vision for these great stories by black creatives so they are hard to get made,” said Charlamagne Tha God in a statement. “What… Kevin and myself along with the rest of team at SBH have built is a space for these companies and the whole world to HEAR our vision. We thank GOD for it all!”
The announcement comes after Deadline revealed on Friday (February 4) Kevin Hart would also be co-creating an animated HBO Max series titled Storytown. The musically centered adult animation series focuses on a troubled kid and his grandfather who aims to educate him on some of life’s biggest lessons via rap fairytale narratives.
