Los Angeles, CA – YouTube Premium and Lionsgate’s hit series Step Up: High Water is yet another reminder that cable modems need to be unplugged for good.
The highly anticipated Season 2 premiered on Wednesday (March 27) with a completely reinvigorated soundtrack, spearheaded by the living legend Timbaland and Emmy Award-nominated music supervisor Jen Malone Creed II and Atlanta fame.
To kick f the aforementioned soundtrack, series star Terrence Green (b.k.a. Rigo to fans) linked up with Timbo The King for the single “Take the Throne” — the audio equivalent trinitrotoluene.
Green holds rank as dancer, choreographer, actor (obviously) comedian and host Los Angeles’ bubbling artist showcase, TheBasement, but isn’t actually a musician. HipHopDX spoke with him on what it was like for the emulation process, especially in the presence a beat whisperer such as Timbaland.
“There were a lot people involved in the process] but overall, everything was simply incredible,” he tells DX.
“I’ve never made music before so to have to work with them was a lot mentally at first, but after seeing, learning, and listening to everyone’s advice, it really helped out with my confidence.”
Another Timbaland-produced track, the ruminative “Marquise’s Interlude” (performed by actor Terayle Hill) also hit the net on Friday (March 29).
Backed by the veteran talents Ne-Yo, Naya Rivera and Faizon Love mixed with burgeoning talent such as Ashley Greene, Robin Givens and Jeremy Copeland, Step Up: High Water is being viewed in five continents and its popularity continues to spread like wildfire. A phenom Green is experiencing tenfold.
“I’m surrounded by musical geniuses man … and I’m new to the process as a whole so it was even crazier I think,” he concluded with a laugh.
Step Up: High Water Season 2 is currently available exclusively on YouTube Premium and the soundtrack is available wherever fine soundtracks are being streamed.
