And you say, Chi-city! Rumor has it that Chi-town’s finest, Kanye West and Common, are coming together to collaborate on more than just G.O.O.D. music. The rappers are allegedly prepping for their starring roles in Spike Lee‘s newest production Chiraq.
Although details about the film are scarce at this point, it has been reported that Samuel L. Jackson and Jeremy Piven have also been courted by Lee to be featured in the film. According to The Wrap, Chiraq is being produced in conjunction with Amazon Studios. However, specific plot details have been kept under wraps.
As Kanye dominates both the fashion and music world, it would be very interesting to see Yeezy take on a new role as an actor and follow in Common’s footsteps. The “Glory” rapper has made quite a name for himself in the film industry over the past few years, recently starring in the historical drama Selma and action thriller Run All Night.
The term “chiraq” emerged into the pop culture lexicon in the wake of the Windy City’s dramatic rise in gun violence. However, it seems as though the Oscar-nominated Lee is set to turn that around. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens with this project.
