“THE AMERICAN DREAM” American Dream, a new film starring multi-platinum rapper Mike Jones, which is set during the explosion of southern hip hop, will chronicle Mike Jones’ real life rise to fame as an aspiring rapper from the streets, who finds his path in life through music. The film “The American Dream”, which is seen through the eyes of a young Mike Jones, highlights the climate of the late 1990’s, when hip-hop was finding a new voice during the aftermath of battles between East Coast and West Coast rap. At that time, Southern rap was on the verge of a breakthrough, after years of largely being ignored by major record labels and outlets. The movie, which details this struggle toward success against insurmountable odds is not only the story of Mike Jones but is also an ode to southern rap and hip hop on a whole. The producers blended in a wealth of local southern talent with Hollywood notables Clifton Powell (“Ray”, “The Gospel”), Tamala Jones (“Daddy Day Care 2”, “The Brothers”, “Two Can Play that Game”), Hassan Johnson (HBO’s “The Wire”), Datari Turner (MTV’s “All You’ve Got”, Creator - BET’s “The Ultimate Hustler”), and stand up comedy legend Reynaldo Rey.
