The life of Dapper Dan — the godfather of hip-hop fashion, who dressed everyone from LL Cool J to Jay-z — is coming to the big screen.
Sony is developing a biopic based on Dapper Dan's upcoming memoir (due out in 2019 via Random House), which will be adapted by Jerrod Carmichael. Set in Harlem, the feature is described as a "high-stakes coming-of-age story."
