Never been but frequented many a similar scene back when.

I can't even imagine what the club scene is like now with all the screen life going on as back then it was all about the moment and who was around. Other thing that was amazing is that every single spot had its own flex from the tunes to decor, vibes, type of crowd, all that. You could hit 4 places in a night and not believe they were in the same town as it was all so different.

Its been interesting to watch the generificiation of the world in front of your own eyes but even more intriguing is that those who don't know are unaware of what they missed and probably enjoy shuffling around 3 variations on a theme calling it a scene. Speaks volumes about the nature of human experience if you think about it.

Fredo Starr, member of the iconic rap group Onyx and a seasoned presence in film and television, dating back to The Wire and more. Now he is stepping behind the camera for the first time to bring one of New York City’s most legendary nightlife landmarks to the big screen. His directorial debut, The Tunnel, is an indie feature that dives deep into the electric spirit of 1990s New York and the unforgettable legacy of the club that defined an era.

This is low key big. The Tunnel was THAT club. Historic and notorious all wrapped into one. IYKYK.

As reported around the web, the film is a coming-of-age story set in 1990s New York City and centers around the iconic nightclub “The Tunnel”. It follows two college basketball players, one played by rising actor Deyshaun Tucker, who are determined to have an unforgettable night by getting into the famous club. The upcoming movie explores themes of loyalty, ambition, and self-discovery during a wild night out. Beyond a club tale, “The Tunnel” is described as a tribute to a vanished New York, capturing the raw energy and electric promise of a generation immersed in mixtape culture, graffiti, and the burgeoning hip-hop scene.

Sounds dope.

Fredro, who lived and breathed that era firsthand, is bringing a story filled with raw energy and emotional depth to the screen. The Tunnel is not just about music or nightlife but about the moment where ambition, loyalty, and love all collide under flashing lights and pounding bass.

He’s actually perfect to direct this film. Hoping he kills it so he can take his directing talents to new heights for his career and open the door to more people who look like him, at this stage in their journey, who want to take the reigns behind the camera."
