We first met Zeke, Mylene, Shaolin Fantastic, Ra-Ra, Dizzee, and Boo-Boo coming together under the tutelage of Grandmaster Flash six months ago in the first half of the first season of Baz Luhrmann’s sprawling Netflix show, The Get Down. They’re like the Avengers of hip-hop, a crew coming together to create what would become one of the most dominant popular art forms of our time. The historical thread continues in the second half of the season, premiering April 7, beginning in 1978, one year after the first part. Zeke and Mylene will continue their young romance, with a corrupt and decaying New York City as the backdrop. Make love and make music, sweet teens!
