CAST BREAKDOWN
BLAKE- (African American Male, mid 20’s) is a young music producer. He is introverted and very creative, but is ignorant to what’s going on around him.
VIRGIL- (African American Male, mid 20’s) is Blake’s manager and old friend, but doesn’t care about his relationship with Blake anymore. He is smart, manipulative, and selfish.
HEAVYROC- (African American Male, mid-20’s) is a young rapper who cares more about his possessions and appearance than anything else. He is very sketchy, unreliable, and takes advantage of the people around him. Somewhat of an A$AP Rocky or Tyler the Creator vibe to him.
