From Harlem to Hollywood.
A$AP Rocky will make his acting debut in a new film titled “Dope”, according to Page Six.
“Dope” will premier at the upcoming Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
The movie, which was written and directed by Rick Famuyiwa, is a coming of age Hip Hop-oriented tale.
Within the flick, a crew of high school seniors attempt to navigate through their tough neighborhood in Inglewood, CA, but end up getting involved with some drug dealers that change their entire outlook on life.
The comedic-drama was produced by Puff Daddy, Pharrell and Forest Whitaker.
Rocky will star alongside Tyga, Casey Veggies, Zoë Kravitz, Keith Stanfield, Vince Staples, Chanel Iman and Shameik Moore, among others.
In an interview with Hot 97 in 2013, Rocky spoke to Angie Martinez about pursuing acting.
“I’m actually prepping for bigger things right now, you know, Hollywood is calling,” he said at the time.
“Dope” will be shown at the Sundance Film Festival January 22 through February 1.
Check out the “Dope” trailer below:

starring a bunch of rappers who have never acted apart from acting tough in the studio, should be amazing.
Through my sacrifice, all of A$AP shall remain propserous!!!
white ppl can not be stopped
They blood sacrificed A$AP Yams. I don’t know when people are going to wake up and start noticing how this works in the music business and the entertainment industry as a whole. This stuff happens too often to be coincidence. The day he died, I saw a ton of people commenting and saying the same exact thing .They said A$AP Rocky would almost immediately end up with a movie role, some lucrative endorsement deal or some sort form of monetary incentive. Cause of death still unknown? FOH
yo you need a mental check up bruh you sound incredibly out of touch. god bless you. call your mother and tell her to check you into the clinic tho
@are you sick?…I’m not out of touch. You are just a narrow minded fool with sheep like tendencies. You sound like you don’t have any balls and just do what you are told. Uncle Tom acting dudes and racists are always to to stop ethnic men and women from elevating their minds and seeing the true nature of things. I probably interrupted you from your job cleaning the bathroom at taco bell. Get that $11/hr. i’m not hatin.
@” are you sick”. Not only that but you are the very parasite in the internet realm who will say anything for up votes and acknowledgment. Vlad liked and cared about dude . Shouts out to Vlad even though he needs better writers.He just covers relevant hip hop news and makes porn stars and strippers feel special because percert dudes will click on it. What I am saying is for real. I hope you get ” famous “and go to some of those eyes wide shut house parties out on Hollywood. You deserve all the dick in the booty and being pissed / shit on. Katt Williams tried to break it down for you cowards but these clowns wont listen.
I’m with you, Vega Duex. Like Q-Tip said, the industry is shady.
did you call your mother yet? you should tell all of this to your therapist
@Vega Duex…… Everything you hear is not true stop being a follower and a hypercriite saying shit people say all over the Internet and then follow it and try to sound like u have a point this ain’t no sacrifice it ain’t no chicken or a goat or a cow you talking about its a human being dummy he died from something normal people believe it was from an overdose that’s what I believe they just haven’t come out and said it cuz that’s what they been promoting that chop n screwd lean music pill popping rest in paradise brush bruh
@”Don’t believe the hype”. Listen man, you can believe anything you want. The easiest possible explanation is an overdose. You think they are going admit it was anything out of the ordinary? I’m well aware that they promote lean usage and chopped and screwed music. But come on bro…use your head and stop being so gullible. Almost all the deaths in the music biz and Hollywood are freak vehicle related “accidents”, drug overdoses or botched surgical operations. Static major died right before cater III came out (waynes sacrifice). Kanyes mom died on the operation table the list goes on and on. Ryan Dunn? Paul Walker? Mike yysons son?, Dre dre’s son?, John Travoltas son?, Eric Claptons son, Jay z’s nephew?,soulja boys brother?,Nikki Minaj’s cousin?, Eminem’s best friend proof (toy soldiers video)?,Bill Cosby’s son……don’t you get it???? They need to sacrifice a blood family member or a close friend.
