Daniel Augustin Talks HBO Max’s Rap Sh!t
The creator of Rap Sh!t told The Hollywood Reporter that she came up with the idea for the show while she was still working on Insecure. The new HBO Max show follows two former high school friends who unexpectedly form a rap group.
American actor Daniel Augustin plays Maurice in Rap Sh!t. Maurice is Shawna Clark’s comedic co-worker and Shawna (played by Aida Osman) is an aspiring rapper from Miami waiting for her big break. Both Maurice and Shawn hate working at their hotel, but Maurice somehow passes the time by brazenly flirting with female guests.
Daniel Augustin is the perfect choice for a show that immerses viewers in the rap music scene, as the actor himself became a hip-hop recording artist at the age of ten. At a very young age, Daniel started a rap group at his church, Agape Church of God. At the age of 21, the Rap Sh!t star even recorded his first solo project, Neo-Soul, titled “I’m Sorry 4 the Delay.”
