Movie poster |
Dannell Stevens, a/k/a "D-Shot" is
a rapper from Vallejo, California, member of The Click (together
w/siblings, E-40, B-Legit and Suga T). Hes recorded a dozen
or so albums, both as a solo artist, and Click member, mostly
for Jive, and his own Shot Records. He made his solo debut in
in 1994 with "Shot Calla", and distinguished himself
with his label. In 1995, "Boss Ballin" helped define
the Bay Area rap compilation cd as a hot selling genre that continued
for years.
For the last two and a half years, Shot has
been steadily working on a movie, an urban drama with a rap soundtrack,
called "Obstacles". Brian Hooks, D-Shot and E-40 star
in this story of two enemies from back in the day, one college
bound, and the other a drug dealer, who get involved in a battle
for territory in the "hood" that they share. The soundtrack
will include a number of tracks from both D-Shot, E-40, the Click,
with a guest appearance by Too Short, and new songs from DJ Quik,
and C-Bo. The "Obstacles" dvd will be released by Ventura
Distribution, which has had great success in the urban action,
drama, and documentaries with recent dvd releases by Tupac, Big
Pun, and E-40.
