It looks like Nas has signed on to executive produce Erykah Badu’s indie film, called The Land, as well as to produce the soundtrack for the film.

According to Variety, in the announcement of his involvement, Nas said that he was excited to work with Steve Caple Jr., who wrote and directed the film.

“[I’m a] huge fan of my man Steve Caple Jr. I think he can become the next great filmmaker. [I’m] also, very excited to be working with my former agent and friend Charles King on his first film with his new venture. All great energy around the film, which I believe will yield amazing results,” Nas said.

The film, which will premiere next month at the Sundance Film Festival, will follow the story of four teenage boys who set out to pursue careers in professional skateboarding but end up caught up in the world of a drug queen-pin.

In addition to Badu, the film will star Machine Gun Kelly, Kim Coates, Ezri Walker and Michael K. Williams, among others.
