Live Session With Uneek on His Role in Issa Rae’s Documentary ‘Dark City Beneath the Beat’

Baltimore native Uneek (Errigh LaBoo Jr.), made his big screen debut to showcase the ongoing positivity that is birthed from the Baltimore club music culture. Uneek, who is also referred to as Neek, has spent many years working hard in his community to change the lives of local youth, is featured in an independently developed documentary. “Dark City Beneath the Beat” is available on Netflix and debuted at SXSW Film Festival in 2020. This documentary focuses on the many facets of the Baltimore club music scene and its impact on the local community.

Music artist, director, and creator TT the artist worked on this film for over 10 years and teamed up with Issa Rae and Netflix for its release in 2020. “Dark City Beneath the Beat” is a musical style documentary that highlights a small portion of the Baltimore club music culture and showcases local artists ranging from dance, music, poetry, disc jockeys and more. This project tells an inspiring story of the journey of artists in a city that lacks funds and resources, while giving a small amount of history of the Baltimore club music culture, spanning over last 15 years.

We chopped it up with Uneek about his role as the narrator for the film as well as what it means to him and his city to have Issa Rae step up and push this project as well as what he as going on with his “B More Than Dance” movement!

B More Than Dance can be found on all social media platforms at @bmorethandance and at www.bmorethandance.com
