Kendrick Lamar is a pop culture phenomenon a decade and a half into his career. And now, he’s shifting to film. The rapper is linking up with South Park co-creator Trey Parker for a comedy due out this summer.

Kendrick Lamar’s comedy film will be titled Whitney Springs. Paramount confirmed the title of the film on Wednesday, and revealed some details about its premise. “A black man interning as a slave re-enactor at a living history museum finds out that his white girlfriend’s ancestors once owned his,” the Paramount + synopsis read. The streaming platform also confirmed that Whitney Springs will be released July 11. Fans have debated whether Lamar will appear in the film or simply produce.
