Next Era’s Q3/Q4 2025 Sync Recap

It’s time to recap the syncs our writers were a part of that have aired in the last few months:

THE DISCIPLE 

• Nas – If I Ruled The World (Imagine That) (Written by Samuel Barnes & Jean-Claude Olivier)

The newly premiered Wu-Tang Clan documentary THE DISCIPLE features RZA as executive producer and brings together several Wu-Tang members to tell the extraordinary story of Dutch-Moroccan member Tarik Azzougarh, better known as Cilvaringz.

The film follows his journey from devoted Wu-Tang fan to official member of the legendary hip-hop collective and the process that went behind the creation of the controversial album and the most expensive work of music ever created, ‘Once Upon A Time In Shaolin’. THE DISCIPLE is a twisting tale of boyhood dreams, relentless determination, and the downfalls of flying too close to the sun.
