"Rap Sh!t taps into the softness of Black women but also explores our confidence and the reality of its ebbs and flows."

—

RogerEbert.com

"Rougher than Insecure, Rap Sh!t is unmistakably a Rae project, but of a different class formally as well as socially."

—

San Francisco Chronicle

"Rap Sh!t is unapologetic in what it is and who it’s for, and TV is better for it."

—

"It’s an appealing core relationship, and Rae, Singleton, and the rest of the creative team have a firm handle on Shawna and Mia’s world..."
