The new animated series is based on GaTa’s life growing up in South Central and the show was revealed as part of Deadline‘s Contender’s TV panel about the FX series, where GaTa said:

“I’m working on this cartoon right now, it’s in development with Onyx Collective and it’s gonna be amazing, it’s called Ghetto Brilliance. I just want to say this bro, I’m really living my dreams bro. I’m performing at Lollapalooza, I just had a sold out show, and [Lil] Dicky was my hype man,”
