50 Cent put himself in the hearts of many with “Power”. The rapper whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has announced a new show, Black Mafia Family.
Black Mafia Family is inspired by a true story and is set to follow brothers Demetrius ‘Big Meech’ and Terry ‘Southwest T’ Flenory, as they establish “one of the most influential crime families” in the late 1980s. It will highlight how they moved from drug-trading to hip-hop in their rise “from the decaying streets of southwest Detroit”.
“This is a project Curtis has always been incredibly passionate about and we are excited to have him as our partner in bringing it to life,” Jeffrey Hirsch, Starz President and CEO, said in a statement (via Deadline).
“Black Mafia Family has all the hallmarks of a great drama, from the larger-than-life Flenory brothers to the deadly, high-stakes world they inhabited. This series is going to be an incredible ride for audiences around the world.”
