About the Job

Edgy, cute, and emotionally expressive. A hip-hop influencer with 2.5M followers who also sells pills and weed. Talented drill rapper (rapping required). Untamable charisma reminiscent of 2Pac. 18+ actors who can play 17. Jamal is magnetic, fearless, and impossible to ignore. Equal parts charming and volatile, they are a rising hip-hop influencer with 2.5 million followers whose authenticity has made them a cultural phenomenon. Funny, stylish, emotionally transparent, and effortlessly cool, he can captivate a crowd with a single look or a single verse. Behind the viral fame lies a teenager navigating the pressures of influence, loyalty, and survival. While projecting confidence online, Jamal is still searching for identity, belonging, and purpose. Their impulsiveness and vulnerability often collide with the image they've built, creating a character full of emotional depth and contradiction. He is also a gifted drill rapper with exceptional rhythm, lyrical dexterity, and commanding performance ability. Strong rap skills are required. The role demands an actor who can convincingly deliver original drill-style performances with confidence, authenticity, and emotional nuance. This character appears in a world where illegal street activity is present. The actor should be comfortable portraying someone involved in that environment while emphasizing the humanity, complexity, and consequences that accompany those choices. Jamal is an exceptional performer with natural charisma, strong acting instincts, and authentic musical ability. The role requires emotional range, quick wit, and the presence to dominate both dramatic scenes and rap performances. Must be able to pass for teenager.
