GUHH ‘RISE UP’
The Growing Up Hip Hop LA campaign centered on a globally recognized cast navigating the gravity of legacy and rising beneath the weight of their parents’ expectations while carving out identities of their own. Fame amplifies everything: ambition, conflict, intimacy, and the private dramas that unfold among friends and family when the world is always watching.
Our narrative device makes the metaphor literal. Each cast member is captured in ultra–slow motion, suspended midair, bodies lifting and drifting as if breaking free from unseen forces. The act of rising becomes both physical and emotional—an elegant tension between ascent and uncertainty.
The visual world is intentionally modern, slick, and restrained—a sculptural space defined by clean lines, refined materials, and controlled light. This minimal environment strips away distraction, allowing performance and emotion to lead while reinforcing a premium, cinematic tone. The result is a story about growth, pressure, and self-determination told through motion, gravity, and the quiet power of elevation.
