Kevin Hart and Charlamagne tha God have found a partner in Audible!
Seeking to bring black voices to the forefront, the pair are teaming up with the audio-book service to bring a wide range of audio projects to further the current cultural conversation.
More details below…
It has been revealed by Forbes that the duo will be teaming up with Black actors, actresses, musicians, writers and more to bring stories to Audible via their respectable entertainment companies, HartBeat Productions and CTHAGOD World Productions.
Speaking with Forbes on the venture, Hart shared:
“[The overall goal is to] give people of color a better start. We’ve been starting at the bottom for quite some time and we’re just saying, ‘Let’s try to even out the playing field with a fair start out the gate.”
Adding to this, Charlamagne said:
“People act like Black people only have one or two interests, when you see us on the screens, a lot of times, it’s in certain roles; we get type-casted a lot. I think we’re gonna break a lot of that, we’re gonna shatter a lot of those stereotypes that people have about what Blackness looks like.”
Though the specific content has yet to be revealed, Charlamagne shared his excitement at exploring social conscious pieces of art through the genres of science fiction, fantasy and horror.
