"Second Wind" would be a great album title, actually.

Tephlon Funk is the Nas-inspired comic that you need to read that’s set to bring Queensbridge to the animation world.

Since the release of the first issue in 2015, Tephlon Funk garnered the attention of Willow Smith and possibly Nas (the manga takes place in the hip-hop legend's hometown, Queensbridge, after all.) Now the series’ creator, Stephane Metayer, is ready to take the black-and-white page of the manga to the next level—an animated series.

Metayer teamed up with D’Art Shtajio to produce an 50-second animated teaser in hopes of gaining the attention of animation executives to turn it into a full-fledged anime series. If it happens,Tephlon Funk will join the ranks in being one of the few anime series set in New York City as well as the first to feature black characters in the five boroughs. And we've got first dibs on the teaser’s premiere.


In an exclusive animated teaser, the 50-second video introduces viewers to the four main characters of the series as they wield swords, shoot off gunshots and bop their head to smooth hip-hop tunes.

"I never imagined it being an anime until I would say about maybe two, three years ago. It's just people kept saying ‘it could be an anime.’ We kept getting compared to Samurai Champloo,Cowboy Bebop, Michiko to Hatchin, The Boondocks. We were getting all types of comparisons so I tried to hitting up a lot of studios." said Metayer in an interview with Complex last month.

The aforementioned studio, D'Art Shtajio, founded by East Coasters Henry Thurlow and Arthell Isom, answered that call. The studio, which works to bridge the gap between Western creators and major Japanese animators, seemed like a godsend to the Queens native when they started working together two and a half months ago. For the teaser, the duo was able to bring Hiroki Itai (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Kill la Kill and InuYasha: The Final Act) on board as the animation director. Metayer also brought on Fat Jon, who was a part of the scoring team for Samurai Champloo, to provide the chill hip-hop sounds played in the background of the teaser. Other players on the team include David Tako (Character Designs & Turnarounds) and James Stanley (Early Storyboards - First Draft) along with Henry Thurlow (Director) and Arthell Isom (Art Director and Background Artist) and Metayer (Production/Composition

lengthy Damian Marley interview with Vlad..whole thing is good but I timestamped the beginning of the Nas stuff, runs for about 5-6 mins. Some background into DR, not a lot we didnt already know. Vlad said 'As We Enter' is one of the greatest hip hop/reggae collaborations he's ever heard

The interview had me reminiscing about Strong Will Continue. The rhyme scheme, flow of the last verse

low key Nas heat

Your skin's your travelin' bag of your existence
Yours is shabby and scab while mines glistenin'
Vivid on my skin how many continents I’ve visit then
You could journey with me to different places by listenin'
shyttin' on 'em, ya brother got it covered
We can slug it, knuckle it however you want I love it
A hustler's wit, the grit the grind
My genetic code make-up, murderer by design
On mayan calendar time when night meets day
I’m in a light grey Bugatti like a high-speed chase
Adrenaline like jogger the jump in rope in place
The Muhammad Ali hobbies no pilates tryna keep the ocean by me
Hit a rich man’s wife see what these hoes can buy me
Lookin' forward but it’s nice to see the road behind me
Hotel’s a seven star, baguette's glowin'
Keep your lid yet dawg the private jet boeing topless

Mr. International
The man centerfold women loathe
Voice bump out the Bose in a tinted Rolls
Craftiness, take a stab at it
Don't ask if Nasty's back at it
I don't run out of magic
Popular, box-cutter flow
Time is money; the watch cost dough
Shaking the dice, fragrances from some beautiful ladies
The lights, the ambiance, yeah, this is the life
The money, hotties on each arm--It's on
I party like a rap star, baby the facts are
The third time's a charm
So meet me by the Eiffel Tower
Bring a bottle of Dom

You're on a winning streak
You've survived the killer streets
Now you at the crap table, where the real villains meet
Number seven might get you to Heaven
You break the bank, just might make you a legend
It's after eleven, you playing against a poker face
Genie eyes, light green, sipping on Bellini's
You play your cards right, she'll let you touch
She'll be a devil in disguise; lady incubus
Better know who to trust
She might roll with thugs who roll bodies up in Asian rugs
I'mma rush up and move on 'em, put the uz' on 'em
The crews do something new, inform me
