She will be taking on the project along with her Issa Rae Productions partner Montrel McKay. Syreeta Singleton and Nina Gloster are the scriptwriters.

The film earned $41 million and was a box office hit which garnered positive reviews from critics. This film was legendary for its time as a film featuring Black female leads during a time in the industry when Black actresses were rarely afforded the opportunity.

No other details about the project or is development are available at this time. But, we are excited and on edge to see what direction Issa Rae and her partners decide to take with this film!

On the big screen, she most recently starred in Universal’s charming fairy tale Little, and she’ll soon be seen opposite Lakeith Stanfield in The Photograph from the very same studio.

Tedashii Releases New Single “Stay Alive”

Atlanta, Georgia (January 24, 2025) — Tedashii releases a new single, “Stay Alive,” a slow burning, steady flowing track where Tedashii revisits some of the lowest points in his life. Following the release of the album “Dead or Alive Pt. 2,” Tedashii welcomes a new, vulnerable era of music. Anecdotes of hardship, addiction, and fear detail this single’s impact and spark important yet relatable conversation. 

Listen to “STAY ALIVE ” here.

In a world where conversations about mental health and emotional well-being are more crucial than ever, “Stay Alive” serves as both a balm and a battle cry. The “Stay Alive” lyrics encapsulate the heart of the song: a call to those who feel overwhelmed, encouraging them to hold on and believe in brighter days ahead. 

“One more night, running low on highs. One more try, to be alright. With all you had in front, you might just get to lose. One more fight, just stay alive,” says Tedashii over the chorus of the song. He continues, “So hold on tonight, so keep holding tight. Just stay alive, just stay alive.” 
Tedashii braced the tragic fires in Los Angeles not only to film content for the song in January, but he extended his stay to volunteer and help those in need. He called on God to pray for those affected, “I’ve seen so many families evacuate their homes, certain their possessions would be lost in the fires,” Tedashii comments. “In your darkest moments, know that Jesus walks beside you, lighting the path with His love and grace.”

This is Tedashii’s first single of many in 2025 after releasing the album “Dead or Alive Pt. 2” in March 2024. “Stay Alive” is without a doubt Tedashii’s journey through pain, healing, and renewed purpose. Drawing from deeply personal experiences, the song’s lyrics explore the struggle to find light in the darkest times.

ABOUT TEDASHII:Tedashii is a tenured artist, musician, public speaker, writer, and communicator burdened to see people become who they were born to be. Growing up in Texas on the fringes of society, family and football were everything – then he found faith. With this faith, he ventured into vocational ministry and eventually artistry as a member of the 116 on Reach Records. He graduated from the University of North Texas with a dual Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology and Sociology to further his ambitions to reach those beyond his city limits.
For the last twenty years he’s devoted his life to encouraging others to find their identity in God and leading a movement of unashamed believers who desire to engage the world for His glory. He is the founder of the Chase Foundation—an organization to serve families who have lost children by being a present help for future hope, the originator of Chase Wellness, the CEO of Unashamed Ministries, and the host of his podcast The Dash. Tedashii and his wife (Danielle) live in Atlanta, GA and are the proud parents of four amazing boys.

ABOUT REACH RECORDS:Reach Records is an Atlanta based independent hip-hop label founded in 2004 by Lecrae and Ben Washer. Long before acclaim, awards, plaques, chart positioning, and radio play, the two started the label because they both love hip-hop and Jesus. Reach Records was launched with no strategy, no funds, no big players, but they made big moves! Today Reach Records is a trailblazing label with a roster of nearly 10 artists and a staff of 20 who are unashamed about sharing their faith and passionate about hip-hop. Reach Records is committed to building a movement that combines faith with music and popular culture.
