Rapper Abra Cadabra is renowned for his magic Midas touch musically. Now, he’s flexing his creative muscles the more by making his acting debut in ‘Trapping.’
Directed by Penny Woolcock (who helmed ‘Ackley Bridge’), the hard-hitting flick lassos the masses into an underground world. One where youngsters are drawn on by gangs to do their dirty work – such as carrying and selling drugs, leaving their homes, schools, and lives at large behind in favor of staying at “trap houses.”
The ‘Trapping’ narrative centers on Londoner Daz (Louis Ede), whose increasingly deeper dive into the murkiness of gang life (amplified by the antics of Abra Cadabra’s character, Magic) sees him relocate to Kent – where further chaos ensues.
Currently available on The Drop streaming service (which was launched by Femi Oyeniran and Nicky ‘Slimting’ Walker), the film has been supported by a variety of impressive activations.
That Grape Juice was in the house at the star-studded premiere in Central London, while there was also a resonating discussion at the House of Parliament – which saw the themes of the film explored.
