The Rapper Who Ate His Roommate: The Tragic Case of Big Lurch

Antron Singleton, widely recognized as Big Lurch, found fame in the rap scene but spiraled into infamy as a convicted murderer and cannibal. Serving a life sentence for the grisly killing of his 21-year-old roommate Tynisha Ysais in April 2002, fueled by the influence of PCP, this documentary takes an unfiltered journey through Big Lurch's formative years, a pivotal car crash, the chilling murder, the gripping trial, and eventual conviction. With a raw and authentic approach, we scrutinize the haunting question of whether Big Lurch was truly guilty. Amidst his music career, Singleton collaborated authentically with Bay Area rap icons like Tupac, Mac Dre, RBL Posse, C-Bo, E-40, and the New Orleans-based Mystikal.
