Rapper Dmx has just signed on to join the cast of the indie film “Pimp,” according to Deadline. The story is written and directed by Christine Crokos and follows the hustle and dangers that women face working in the illegal sex trade in New York.
The film is essentially a love story that revolves around a female pimp (Keke Palmer) and her girlfriend (Haley Ramm), who dream of a better life and getting out of the situation they are in. There are no additional details on Dmx’s role. However, Crokos is working closely with “a man of the cloth in the community who is trying to get kids out of the circle of gun violence that plagues the area.”

The Chilean filmmaker locked two premieres at Sundance back in ’13 with Magic Magic and Crystal Fairy and later that fall, began lensing Nasty Baby with ’14 “it” actress Kristen Wiig (The Skeleton Twins played like gangbusters). Following in his eclectic, tongue-in-cheek, family-based narrative interests, such as in Crystal Fairy, Sebastián Silva moves once again in front of the camera for this Brooklyn-set adoption dramedy. Surprisingly, the U.S-Euro-Latin American co-production wasn’t part of the make-up of the 2014 film fest circuit, suggesting that Park City might be the perfect launching pad.
