Andre “3000” Benjamin’s new cartoon series Class of 3000 is slated to debut in Nov. 2006 on the Cartoon Network. The show features Sunny Bridges, a superstar who left behind a career that included 27 Grammys and a Nobel Prize. After giving up the life of a superstar, Bridges returns to the Westley School for the Performing Arts in Atlanta to be a music teacher. There, he changes the lives of musical prodigies Lil’ D, Tamika, Philly Phil, Madison, Eddie, and twins Kim and Kam.

Each episode of Class of 3000 will feature a new original song recorded by Benjamin. Each of the songs will come with an animated music video. Guests that produced the animated music videos include Overton Loyd, who is renowned for his work on album covers by Parliament, Peter Chung ( Aeon Flux ), Alan Bodner ( Iron Giant, The Life & Times of Juniper Lee ) and others. Class of 3000 is produced in conjunction with Benjamin’s Atlanta-based production company Moxie.
