‘Rap Sh!t’ Season 2 Premiere Date Delayed Due to Hollywood Strikes

Season two of Rap Sh!t has been delayed by three months due to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

Originally slated for an Aug. 10 premiere date, the first two episodes of Rap Sh!t‘s season two will now debut on Max on Nov. 9, followed by new weekly episodes leading up to the season finale on Dec. 21.

This new season follows Shawna (played by Aida Osman) and Mia (KaMillion) and their rise to fame as Miami’s hottest new rap duo, but the two “find themselves at a pivotal moment in their rap career as they are forced to decide if they will stay true to themselves or conform to the demands of the music industry,” according to a press release.
