Cast Of ‘Notorious’ Announced

{Spotted at Concreteloop}

Following a nationwide search in the US, that spanned several months, the cast for the upcoming biopic of slain rapper Christopher ‘Notorious B.I.G’ Wallace has been announced. Jamal ‘Gravy’ Woolard beat out competition from the likes of Sean Kingston to land the role of B.I.G – who was gunned down in 1997.

Award winning actress Angela Bassett will play the role of Biggie’s mother Voletta Wallace. The George Tillman Jr directed film will also see actor Anthony Mackie tackle the role of Tupac Shakur and Derek Luke take on the role of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. ‘Notorious’ will be begin shooting on March 24th in New York.

I’m actually pretty hyped to see this. Check out more cast pics below:
