A$AP Rocky might be keeping fans waiting on that next album, but there’s a valid reason for the delay—he’s trading bars for big screen moments. The Harlem rap icon is set to star in Spike Lee’s upcoming flick Highest 2 Lowest, and according to the legendary director himself, Rocky holds it down next to the GOAT, Denzel Washington.
The film is Lee’s modern take on Akira Kurosawa’s High and Low (1963), and it’s packing serious star power. Rocky’s already proven he’s more than a rapper with style—now he’s stepping into real actor territory. If Spike’s giving him props, you know it’s major.
It’s not every day you see Pretty Flacko in scenes with Denzel. This one’s about to be a moment for the culture, both in hip-hop and Hollywood.
