    City of Gods Son is a revolutionary new audio driven cinematic
    experience by artist Kenzo Digital. A story completely created out
    of samples and re-appropriated audio and visual media, City of Gods
    Son stars rappers Nas, Jay Z, Ghostface, Notorious BIG, Raekwon, and
    actors Samuel Jackson, Lawrence Fishburne, Delroy Lindo, and Al
    Pacino. Narrated by legendary soul singer Joe Bataan. The project
    has received critical acclaim from the Huffington Post, Kanye West,
    Complex Magazine, Fader Magazine, Nahright.com and many others. As
    one of the most viral and groundbreaking forms of new media art,
    City of Gods Son fuses musical and cinema mythologies into a one of
    a kind sound film, redefining how stories can be told and the very
    definition of the remix.
