Harlem Rapper Azealia Banks has landed her first role starring in a feature film. She’ll play the title character in Coco in new drama directed by Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA.

An all-star cast of Common, Jill Scott, Lucien Laviscount, Lorraine Toussaint and Pitch Perfect 2’s Hana Mae Lee will co-star in the new Lionsgate and Codeblack Films feature.

According to Deadline Coco, with Brooklyn as it’s backdrop, will portray Banks as an aspiring 20-something rapper who wants a career in hip-hop, but is torn by her parents’ dreams that she finish college. She gives in. While in school, she learns the true power of the spoken word, which helps her to reach her goals as a hip-hop artist.

Kind of sounds like her real life and shouldn’t be much of a stretch for her. These types of roles can make or break an artist, because they either over-act or relay too heavily on being able to really “relate” to the character. This outspoken and provocative rapstress should have no problem hamming it up for the big screen so I look forward to watching this all play out.
