Dame Dash and Kanye West are working together again.
As promised, the Roc-a-fella Records co-founder has teamed up with his former artist-producer on a new movie titled Loisaidas.
The first installment of the digital seven-episode series premiered yesterday (February 26) via Complex.
Loisaidas appears to be a grimey, action street flick. It’s set to feature cameos by Smoke DZA, The Lox, Murda Mook and others.
Dash’s film company, Damon Dash Studios, is responsible for the production of the project. Dash co-wrote the script, directed the film and is credited as an executive producer alongside Kanye West.
On Instagram, he expressed his excitement over the film’s debut.
“Today is the day I walk it like I talk it,” he wrote via IG. “I put up my own money and invested in myself…my ability to direct as well as my ability to build the platform to present my art so no one can tell me what to do on any level so today I’m officially launching two things…my movie which I’m very proud off @loisaidas @damondashstudios.”
Dash also states that he’s developed his own version of Netflix that will feature all-original content. The movie streaming site he’s referring to is called Poppington Group Television b.k.a. PGTV.
Loisaidas will be released in an episodic format via this platform in addition to on its own site, loisaidasthemovie.com.
Each episode will be available for purchase or pre-order the full flick now.

UPDATE: New York-based musical duo Loisaidas is suing Dame Dash and Kanye West over the movie Loisaidas, which the music group says tarnishes its brand, according to TMZ.
Founded in 2008, the Latin music group got its name for the slang for Lower East Side and singer Michael Medina says the murder, violence and drug sales depicted in the film have brought negative attention to the group.
Medina is seeking damages and for a judge to stop the release of the film.
LOL
dying
Kangay West is THE most creative & beyond his time artist in the entire galaxy, past the black hole! Kangay West is the next Malcolm X or Muhammad Ali. He is the greatest artist to ever record a single word or even sound into a microphone. When Kangay farts it is still the most advanced composition of music to ever be heard! If only any of you where fortunate enough to hear the sounds I have heard coming from this talented man’s asshole, then you’d agree with me.
Kangays farts must smell like the fresh springs of France in the early summertime.
he put up his own money??? how does someone who is bankrupt put up his own money??????
LOLOL especially when he cant even come thru with child support. he called his ex wifes lawyer a culture vulture for trying to get the back child support he owes her.
You obviously don’t understand bankruptcy
