Hip-hop mogul Dame Dash has provided us with an update on the sequel for the hit noughties film, Paid In Full.
Speaking to AllHipHop, Dash – who produced the original film in 2002 – said the film is being filmed in Newark, New Jersey and will follow the events of the first instalment.
“It’s what happens after [they] put all that work on the street, and somebody had to get that money back,” Dash said.
“There’s a lot of perspectives that people don’t know. We chose three, really one. Now I’m showing all perspectives,” he continued.
“So you’ll see a perspective from the stickup kids at the time, see a perspective of the younger dudes, I was a younger dude, the 16-year-olds. You’ll see perspectives from Kevin Childs, Jay Black, everybody, Lou Simms. It’s going to be off the hook. Trust me. A lot of other little stories will be told.”
The original Paid In Full was released two decades ago and was inspired by Harlem drug lords Rich Porter, Alpo Martinez and Azie “AZ” Faison and their business in the New York underworld in the 1980s.
The film starred Cam’ron, Wood Harris and Mekhi Phifer and grossed $3 million worldwide following its release.
In May 2020, Cam’ron spoke on the possibility of a sequel for the film.
“These are conversations that we talked about in the last few months,” Cam’ron said during an Instagram Live sesssion. “Actually, a couple hours ago, something we talked about [was] pertaining [to] Paid in Full 2.
“I don’t wanna say 100 percent ‘yes,’ but we’re definitely in the talks about doing something similar to Paid in Full 1. … It’s definitely a conversation going on right now about that, 100 percent.”
