Derrick Harden, known in the artistic world as Dear Derrick, continues to push boundaries as a multifaceted creator. Hailing from Brooklyn, this rap music star, art curator, and filmmaker has carved a unique space for himself, blending music, visual art, and storytelling in ways that challenge convention.
With a reputation for fearless artistic expression, Derrick has collaborated with heavyweights such as the Wu-Tang Clan, HBO’s Betty, and the Hole Gallery, among others. He has also contributed to projects with Dame Dash’s Poppington Gallery and Chelsea Art Museum, further cementing his status as a cultural innovator.
Known for his conceptual albums like The Jamie Project and The Art of Nothing, Derrick’s work has often bridged genres, pushing the boundaries of both music and visual art. But his latest venture takes him into the world of film with The Black Sea, a project that promises to be both thought-provoking and deeply personal.
Set to hit select theaters on November 22, The Black Sea follows the story of a man’s journey to a remote coastal town in Bulgaria. As the only Black person in the area, he navigates unexpected connections in a place where the unfamiliar becomes a catalyst for transformation. The film stands as a testament to Derrick’s ability to blend visual storytelling with the kind of raw, unfiltered expression that has defined his career.
