Angie Martinez To Direct Hip-Hop Doc

• Radio Hall Of Fame personality Angie Martinez is set to make her directorial debut with a feature-length documentary on seminal hip-hop figure DJ Clark Kent.

As first covered by The Hollywood Reporter, God’s Favorite DJ: The Story of DJ Clark Kent will be directed by Martinez and produced in partnership with Green Leaf Productions and Mark Sparks Productions, and will include appearances by Jay-Z, Questlove, DJ Khaled and other notable hip-hop luminaries.

Martinez, longtime afternoon drive personality on iHeartMedia’s WWPR (Power 105.1)/New York, told the Reporter, “DJ Clark Kent is a rare gem whose influence is seen in nearly every era of Hip-Hop’s history books. With our 50-year-old culture susceptible to outside perspective and agenda, it’s important that we spotlight the heroes who push the art form with purity and authenticity. I am honored to help share Clark’s many truths with the world.”

Clark Kent’s production credits include Jay-Z‘s “Brooklyn’s Finest,” the Notorious B.I.G.‘s “Sky’s the Limit,” Junior M.A.F.I.A.‘s “Player’s Anthem,” Mariah Carey‘s “Loverboy,” and Kanye West and Lil Pump‘s “I Love It.” He has also worked with Slick Rick, Rakim, Rick Ross and more.

DJ Clark Kent said, “I’m honored to have Angie Martinez directing. Her entire career has been rooted in telling stories in a beautiful & meaningful way. Angie is a true icon of Hip Hop and we are very lucky to have her guiding this project.” [Photo credit: David Ducane]
