Da One Radio Interviews Ridah Redd

West Palm Beach, FL (August 20, 2010) Godfather Records and Florida, USA Rap Artist, Abner “Ridah Redd” Shambray announced today their role in contributing music for director Antoine Fuqua’s latest film project, a movie biopic about the life of slain rapper Tupac Shakur.  

Fuqua, who also directed films such as, “Training Day” and “Brooklyn’s Finest” told Digital Spy Magazine that he doesn’t want a household name playing Shakur (sorry, Denzel). “I want to discover someone new,” he said. “I want to go to the streets and find him anywhere he might be in the world.”

Godfather Records recording artist, Ridah Redd is hopeful that Fuqua’s interest in finding new talent also extends to the films music.

Representatives from Godfather Records confirmed with Morgan Creek Production Studios in California that production, casting and other arrangements for the upcoming Tupac Shakur film have yet to be finalized but are hopeful that Ridah Redd’s music and music from other artists who reflect Tupac’s thug life struggle is represented in this upcoming project.

Ridah Redd states that, “I’ve been watching movies and listening to music all my life that claim to portray life in the hood and the struggles that we go through but they never seem realistic to me and to most of the people I know. I hope they get this one right and I hope they consider advice from some one like me who knows the struggle Tupac rapped and talked about first hand.”

Morgan Creek Productions is an American film studio that has released box-office hits like Young Guns, Dead Ringers, Major League, True Romance, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The King and I, The Crush, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and others. The studio was co-founded in 1987 by James G. Robinson, and Joe Roth
