Ice-T, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Arabian Prince will be collaborating with producer Ambitious Entertainment for a gritty animated action series, ‘Tehk City,’ according to Deadline.

The show is labelled as a “high-octane animated neo-noir” that “unfolds in a brutal, near-future penal colony where every choice is life or death, chaos reigns and only the ruthless survive.”

The series is based on aesthetics from Tommy The Animator, who is co-creator alongside rapper-actor Ice-T. The pair are attached as producers and exec producers alongside Dre, Snoop and Arabian Prince, who was a founder member of N.W.A. Industry veterans Ken Corben, Kirk Shaw and Thomas Vitale are also producers and EPs. Rusty Cundeiff is also a producer, and Robert Rippberger is another EP.

“I just wanted to bring something new to animation that’s never been seen before, coming from the mind of a black creator out of the projects of the Upper West Side of Manhattan,” said Ice-T.

“Tehk City is one of those rare projects that came together through the collaboration of an exceptional team,” added Ambitious Entertainment’s Shaw, whose credits include The Hurt Locker and Blood Ties. “We’re creating a world only animation could capture, where morality is a luxury and the visual style is as fierce as the story itself.”

Ambitious is looking at a multi-platform release for Tehk City next year, with discussions underway with domestic and international distributors and steamers.

The company is known for working with HKCorp to produce comedy 15 Minutes, which marked the feature directorial debut of actor and social media star Adam Rose.
