Glasses Malone knows how to make a statement. In July 2019, the Watts rapper released the jaw-dropping “2Pac Must Die” song and video; which became an Internet sensation, logging more than 5.1M views and leading to high-profile interviews with The Breakfast Club and Big Boy, among others.

Growing up as a street-racing enthusiast in the gang-infested streets of Southern California, Glasses Malone focused on creativity early on. In his music, Glasses Malone’s remarkable blend of street insight, social commentary, and lyricism earned him ringing endorsements from a series of rap icons, including JAY-Z and Dr. Dre. From there, Glasses Malone became a rap fixture thanks to a series of acclaimed mixtapes, including White Lightnin. “I was bred by Birdman to run a record label,” Glasses Malone says. “I was schooled by Mack 10 to understand what it would take to succeed from a musical and visual perspective. What it would need to look like. The right person was casted for this film.”
