The Partnership
Jimmy Chiba’s deep-rooted involvement in the End of the Weak (EOW) England scene has transitioned from documenting freestyle culture to co-directing Prolific Wone’s latest cinematic breakthrough, the "God En Man Dangerous" visual series.
This ambitious 8-part film series, shot and edited by Chiba, unfolds as a classic spy narrative traversing the streets of both New York City and London. While the high-octane album God En Man is out now and available on Prolific Wone's official site, the highly anticipated Dangerous film series is currently in production with a release date yet to be announced.
As a primary driving force behind the project, Chiba’s signature cinematic eye ensures that the series features gorgeous, high-fidelity visuals that elevate the underground hip hop aesthetic to a professional film standard.
