Critically Acclaimed Crime Drama Trap City, Starring Jeezy and Brandon T. Jackson Hits #1 on STARZ

DETROIT - EntSun -- The critically acclaimed indie crime drama Trap City has climbed to the top of the charts, now ranking as the #1 Trending Movie on STARZ. The milestone marks another major achievement for filmmaker Tel K. Ganesan, following a successful theatrical run and release on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.

Starring Brandon T. Jackson and Platinum recording artist Jay "Jeezy" Jenkins, Trap City tells the story of Deshawn, a young rapper caught between street life and stardom. The gritty, music-driven narrative explores survival, sacrifice, and the cost of fame with raw intensity and authenticity that's resonating with audiences.

"This film was built on belief and bold choices," said Tel K. Ganesan, director and producer. "From casting to storytelling to distribution, Trap City never followed the traditional path — and now it's the #1 film on STARZ. That's the power of purpose-driven filmmaking."

With supporting performances from Clifton Powell, Erica Pinkett, Omar Gooding, and an ensemble that includes Juhahn Jones and international stars Yogi Babu, GV Prakash Kumar, Nepoleon Duraisamy, and Tarina Patel. Trap City continues to strike a cultural chord. It has become more than a film — it's a movement, driven by its themes of resilience, identity, and ambition in a system designed to trap those on the margins.
