DFW’s own sultry princess Erykah Badu stars in a new skateboard flick produced by Nas called “The Land” where she plays a notorious drug queenpin ready to flex on her competition, no matter who or how old. The soundtrack to the project includes joints from Nas, Erykah, Kanye, Pusha T, #979CarShow artist Jeremih, French Montana and more. Read about the film’s synopsis from the filmmakers and watch the trailer below.

“Teenage buddies Cisco, Boobie, Junior, and Patty Cake skateboard the streets of Cleveland, Ohio, dreaming of getting discovered by a sponsor and skating their way out of poverty. That is until the boys discover a bag full of pills in the back of a stolen car. Cisco’s entrepreneurial instincts take over, and in a flash their lives get better. But no one counted on having to come face to face with the cold, calculating, and notorious drug queenpin, “Momma,” who runs the toughest gang in town…More than a crime drama, THE LAND is a beautifully rendered story about friendship, values, and what it means for disaffected youth to come of age on the streets of Cleveland.”
