In 1994, James Earl Hardy, an American playwright, released his novel, B-Boy Blues. B-Boy Blues follows the tumultuous relationship between Mitchell Crawford, a 27 year old journalist, and Raheim Rivers, a 21-year-old bicycle messenger and B-Boy (banjee boy). They meet in a gay bar in Greenwich Village in the summer of 1993. The B-boy hangs out on street corners, cool and menacing. In 1995, the novel was a Lambda Literary Award finalist for Best LGBT – Small Press Title, and it has been described as a title that “continues to be a staple within the Black LGBTQ Same Gender Loving community, spawning a series that has now sold millions worldwide.
The good news is that B-Boy Blues has now come to our screens. The movie is directed, as his debut directing project, by former “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett’s directing debut has finally found a home: BET+ has picked up “B-Boy Blues,” which will debut on the streamer on June 9 in time for Pride Month. As part of the pickup, Mona Scott-Young and her Monami Entertainment has joined the film as a producer and was instrumental in getting the deal done with BET+. “B-Boy Blues” reps the first project for Smollett since being found guilty of making false reports about what he alleged to be a hate crime.
B-Boy Blues — The Movie follows, like the novel, the journey of two Black men, one who makes a career as a journalist (similar to Hardy’s career as a music journalist) and the other who works as a bike messenger, Shadow and Act reports. The cast for the movie includes Timothy Richardson, Thomas Mackie, Brandee Evans, Ledisi, Broderick Hunter, Landon G. Woodson, Michael Jackson, Jr., Marquise Vilson, Jabari Redd, Brian Lucas, Heather B., Eric R. Williams, Otis Winston, Tiesha Thomas, Jahleel Kamara, Andre Virgo, Bry’Nt, Ilara Phoenix Williams, and Sampson McCormick. “Like so many same-gender-loving, black men . . . B-Boy Blues was and continues to be a story that hits home for me in ways that not many people truly understand. It’s truly a universal story about Black on black love.
