Singer Ne-Yo has been cast as Keshon Moore in the film version of the 4Chosen documentary, the true story of four basketball players who were  shot thirteen times by New Jersey policeman in 1998 while traveling from New York to North Carolina for a basketball showcase. Moore was one of the four young men (alongside Danny Reyes, Jarmaine Grant, and Rayshawn Brown) who then sued the State of New Jersey in a landmark case of racial profiling. The film, slated for a late 2008 release, is being directed by David Anspaugh and also stars Laurence Fishbourne, Cybill Shepherd, Billy Zane, and Danny Aiello. Ne-Yo and Zane will team up again next year in the flick “Mama I Want to Sing!” along with Ciara, Patti LaBelle and Lynn Whitfield. For more information on 4Chosen, visit 4chosenthemovie.com.

Rapper Rich Boy is in talks with Lil’ Wayne and singer Nelly Furtado to appear on his next album, tentatively titled Tears of Joy, likely to be released next summer. He told HipHopDX.com that he is looking forward to more politicals songs like the single and video he released with his own money, “Let’s Get This Paper.” “They [his label, Interscope] said it wasn't a single and I felt like it needed to be put out regardless so I just went out and did it, you know?  I feel like... they just don't know [how to market me as a more well-rounded artist]. But it’s not their job to know how to deal with the type of artist that I wanna be.…I don't want my purpose to be ‘get money;’ I want to have a real purpose behind what I’m doing that means something to people.”
