New York rapper Nas has treated fans to an inside look at his upcoming Monster film. Specifically, Nasty showed off a picture of himself at the movie’s production set.
Nasir Jones went to Instagram Thursday (October 20) with a Monster teaser.
Earlier this month, buzz developed about Nas and fellow New York rapper A$AP Rocky landing roles in Monster.
Kelvin Harrison, Jr. (“The Birth of a Nation”) and Jennifer Hudson are starring in the independent drama “Monster,” which is starting production this week in New York City. Bron Studios has joined forces with Tonik Productions and Get Lifted Film Co. to co-produce and finance. The cast includes Jennifer Ehle, A$AP Rocky, Nas, Tim Blake Nelson, John David Washington and Jeffrey Wright. (Variety)
The independent movie is an adaption of author Walter Dean Myers‘ book.
The pic centers Steve Harmon (Harrison), a 17-year-old honor student and aspiring filmmaker who prosecutors deem a “monster” after being charged with felony murder for a crime he says he did not commit. As Steve’s world comes crashing down around him, we witness his journey from a smart, likable young man from Harlem attending an elite high school through a complex legal battle that could leave him spending the rest of his life in prison.

Recently, Nas boasted over longtime rap pal DMX’s greatness.
