Brooklyn-born rapper, art curator, and filmmaker Derrick Harden—aka Dear Derrick—shares his journey from fashion to hip-hop, culminating in his improvised romantic comedy 'The Black Sea' and its vibrant soundtrack.

Previously, he released a slew of conceptual albums, including The Jamie Project, Born 4 Porn, The Art of Nothing, Penthouse II, and The Gallery Mixtape. Releasing in select theaters on Friday, November 22, the film follows a man's journey to a small Eastern European coastal town in Bulgaria where he finds unexpected connections despite being the only Black person in the area.
