After making serious waves in 2016 with their grime banger, Man Be Flexin', Shella and XEN1 are plummeting fast, following a series of bad record deals and a few cheap hits.
Now in 2023, ATM must fight to protect their legacy and keep up with the latest trends, which is tricky when your bank balance has lost a couple of zeros. Championed by their trusty fixer Plugz and filmed by cameraman Jackz, the five-part 'documentary' intended to reel off ATM's accolades, instead reveals a string of embarrassing scenarios the boys find themselves in.
In a world where flex is king, ATM are skint, and it's normally up to their long-suffering manager Clara to bail them out.
The series taps into universal themes of ambition, greed, ego, unfulfilled potential and unpaid hire purchase bills.
The authenticity of Dropped transcends from the rap world into everyday life, based on inexplicable stories from the industry, informed by legendary DJ and music producer, Rude Kid and Dropped writer, Justin Smith Uzomba, formerly known as rapper Mikill Pane. The series also features cameos from Zeze Millz, Man Like Haks, Kae Kurd and Victor Kunda, with a soundtrack produced by Rude Kid himself.
