School Gyrls Premieres on Nick

Nick’s directorial debut “School Gyrls” premiered on Sunday February 21st on Nickelodeon. The internet was all atwitter with talk about the one hour musical comedy (with a dash of drama).

School Gyrls even reached trending topic status on Twitter. The songs were a blend of pop/r&b/ peppy fun. The dancing definitely wasn’t High School Musical but far more cooler. Soulja Boy, Justin Bieber, Kristinia DeBarge and more made cameos. Even Nick joined the fun making a “special” appearance.

Two of the songs featured in the film were co-written and co-produced by Nick. The sassy, funky futuristic-esque Get Like Me, (which is the first joint musical venture between Nick and wife Mariah who co-wrote the song) and the song Extra Extra which he co-wrote with Kevin Writer, who is a member of the group RydazNrtist, who are also signed to NCredible Entertainment/Def Jam as are School Gyrls.
