In order to capture the “authentic” feeling of New Orleans, Master P is asking natives to be part of the project:Â “I believe there are so many talented actors and actresses that just need a shot.”
“The timing is right for me to tell my story,” P said in a statement. “It was tough back then especially being from the South, New Orleans was the murder capital at the time. I want others to learn from my mistakes and understand my work ethic of never giving up, no matter what it may look like.”
