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.

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.
