‘Rap Sh!t’: Aida Osman, KaMillion and Issa Rae’s Raedio on Crafting ‘Seduce & Scheme’ and Representing Miami Hip-Hop

The series follows Mia and Shawna (Aida Osman), friends from high school who reunite years down the line and form a rap duo that quickly skyrockets to notoriety — at least on the internet.

To create the original songs that Shawna and Mia perform, as well as the soundtrack that pays major homage to the show’s Miami setting, Rae’s music company Raedio held “camps” where different rappers and songwriters came together to collaborate.
