Shyan Selah's Hip Hop Roots Continue to Draw HollywoodShyan Selah's "Concrete City" is featured in Camp X-Ray starring Kristen Stewart
By: The Brave New World Global Entertainment Company The placement was facilitated by Brave New World publishing partner, Mother West. "When asked to submit hip-hop songs to be considered for Camp X-Ray, Shyan was the 'go-to' in our catalog and it fit right in," says Charles Newman, co-founder of the Brooklyn-based multi-service music company. "It's always a blessing when your music gets licensed for film or TV," says Shyan. "This particular song has gotten picked up on a couple different occasions and in my opinion it's a timeless hip hop cut. As an artist that's professionally active in multiple genres, hip-hop will always represent a critical side of my artistic character. The story telling, the rhymes, the beats, the attitude all represent a culture of perseverance. I know many people don't associate hip-hop with Americana, but my style of it is very much that. Much love to our licensing partner MotherWest. Charles and his crew have been great. And of course I want to send love to the entire team that produced Camp X-Ray. It's an edgy, gritty, cool film. Go watch the movie." Camp X-Ray is currently airing on Showtime and streaming on Amazon & Hulu. About Camp X-Ray: A young woman (Kristen Stewart) joins the military to be part of something bigger than herself and her small town roots. But she ends up as a new guard at Guantanamo Bay instead, where her mission is far from black and white. Surrounded by hostile jihadists and aggressive squadmates, she strikes up an unusual friendship with one of the detainees. It's a story of two people, on opposite sides of a war, struggling to find their way through the ethical quagmire of Guantanamo Bay. And in the process, they form an unlikely bond that changes them both. From IFC Films.
