The upcoming documentary “Killa Hill” on Tubi TV will feature rising artists Levitation and J Wils, showcasing their track “Outside” while exploring Staten Island’s Park Hill neighborhood and its hip-hop legacy.
The Significance of “Killa Hill”
Directed by Gerald “Gee-Bee” Barclay, known for his work with Wu-Tang Clan, and executive produced by RZA, Raekwon, Herman Dawson, and Gano Grills, Killa Hill offers an in-depth look at Staten Island’s Park Hill neighborhood. The documentary highlights the cultural impact of the area, widely recognized as the birthplace of Wu-Tang Clan, while also featuring contemporary artists like Levitation and J Wils.
Their collaboration, Outside, has gained traction on Hartford’s Hot 93.7 FM, further amplifying their presence in the hip-hop scene. The inclusion of their music in Killa Hill marks a key moment in their careers, aligning them with a legacy of influential artists.
Park Hill’s Enduring Influence on Hip-Hop
Park Hill has long been a hub for creativity, fostering talents like Wu-Tang Clan in the 1990s. The documentary examines how the neighborhood’s cultural environment shaped one of hip-hop’s most iconic groups while continuing to inspire new generations.
Today, artists connected to Wu-Tang’s legacy, including the children of its members, are carving their own paths. Levitation and J Wils represent this evolving narrative, blending East Coast hip-hop traditions with fresh perspectives. Their upcoming performance at Flowery Fest alongside Chey (Method Man’s daughter) and Weather Park (Old Dirty Bastard’s son) underscores this cross-generational connection.
