Rapper and actor DMX has confirmed that he will be working on the sequel to the acclaimed hip-hop film Belly.
The sequel which is to be titled Beast, already has a star studded line up under its belt. “It's me, Nas and Hype, [Williams, director of urban films and music videos]. I go and get [Nas' character in Africa]," said DMX. "We start filming this year."
"We got a sick story and all that," DMX added. "We're starting this one off how the last one ended and pick it up from there."
Belly was a 1998 film focusing on two partners that take separate paths – Tommy (DMX) continues a criminal lifestyle whilst Sincere (Nas) takes a righteous straight and narrow direction.
It was the first feature film for Hype Williams, who collaborated with Nas on the screen play, as well as acting debut for DMX.
A release date has yet to be scheduled.
