Tonight Harlem rapper Jim Jones of the Dipset crew begins the two-night run of his off-Broadway musical, Hip-Hop Monologues: Inside the Life & Mind of Jim Jones, based on music from his upcoming album. NahRight.com posted a video trailer of sorts for the two-night production.

Was there for the Thursday night show. Was surprisingly not bad at all, brotha actually has sum acting skillz and the cast did a good job with a definite big-up to Lil Jim Jones. Music accompaniment was monster led by Om’Mas Keith of the acclaimed Sa-Ra clan. Overall, I gave it a thumbs up!

Good to see Hip Hop Theater getting some press. If you’re interested in this, you should definitely see For Flow at the Theater for the New City. Its only up two more weeks. It’s theater, and hip-hop merged together at its best. There info at http://www.25tolifeproductions.com
