The film's soundtrack is comprised of Rocky's hits along with unreleased music from his upcoming instrumental album titled Beauty & The Beast: Slowed Down Sessions (Chapter 1). SVDDXNLY is directed by VICE's David Laven, marking his feature directorial debut, and is executive produced by Trevor Silmser, A$AP Rocky, A$AP Yams, Chace Infinite, Suroosh Alvi, Geno Sims, and Bryan Leach. It premiered as an official selection at the 2014 South by Southwest Film Festival, and is the first-ever feature-length documentary from Noisey.com.VICE started Noisey back in 2011, criss-crossing the globe documenting the year in music from heavy-hitters to tiny garage bands who usually play for their girlfriends and moms. Since then, it has grown into one of the most unique and successful video-driven music sites on the planet. In 2012, Noisey teamed with YouTube as a premium content provider, and built out a series of shows that take a completely fresh take on the world of music. As an editorial resource, Noisey.com reaches millions of people a month, and has become a go-to source for weird music news, artist-sourced content, and VICE's signature offbeat coverage. Noisey throws parties and shows worldwide, hosts innovative online listening parties for new records, and produces videos for the best artists in the world, like MIA, Die Antwoord, A$AP Rocky, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Noisey is more than just a music site-music is the lens with which we explore youth culture all over the world.
