Raking in nearly three times its budget at the box office, ‘ATL’ – which starred T.I., Lauren London, Big Boi, Evan Ross, Tasha Smith, and others – became an unexpected cult classic in 2006.

After fielding years of calls for a sequel, those prayers have finally been answered as revealed by the film’s director, Chris Robinson, who shared a brief teaser for ‘ATL 2: the Homecoming’ on Friday (August 27).

Reuniting the main cast (T.I., London, Ross, Jason Weaver, Jackie Long, and more), the short clip comes after T.I. and London respectively confirmed the project was indeed in the works.

Kofi Siriboe may be one of Hollywood’s most promising heartthrobs, but – as reaffirmed by an exclusive chat with That Grape Juice – the ‘Queen Sugar’ star isn’t running low on his supply of substance.

At just 27-years-young, the model-turned-actor’s resume reads of impressive diversity – with roles in film and television that have seen his name listed on credits alongside the likes of  Queen Latifah, Ice Cube, Rutina Wesley, Tina Lifford, and many others.

In that same vein, the latest addition to his growing filmography, new Netflix movie ‘Really Love,’ sees Siriboe stand toe-to-toe with even more entertainment vets (i.e. Blair Underwood, Michael Ealy, Suzzanne Douglas, etc.) while also leading the charge to deliver a refreshingly honest, yet necessarily updated take on the Black Love trope.
