South Side

South Side,” a new Comedy Central show comes alive, thanks in part to a trio of music aficionados including Run P. who curated the show’s sound. The scripted comedy series is set around the Chicago working class neighborhood of Englewood, as it follows two friends who just graduated community college with big dreams, but who are stuck at Rent-T-Own, a retail nightmare. South Side is written by Bashir Salahuddin (Glow) and Diallo Riddle (Marlon), who also appear in the show. Salahuddin, Riddle, and Michael Blieden – all Late Night with Jimmy Fallon alumni – are executive producers.

While discussions continue, members of our community are no longer waiting for conveyor belt solutions. We are taking matters into our own hands to heal the past and ensure our futures.
