Abra Cadabra lands his first acting role in gritty new country lines film 'Trapping'
Abra Cadabra is set to star in an upcoming film exploring the prevalent problem of country lines drug dealing in the UK.
'Trapping' is the work of legendary British directors, actors and grime pioneers, Femi Oyeniran (Kidulthood) and Nicky “Slimting” Walker (So Solid Crew), as well as award-winning social activist filmmaker Penny Woolcock.
Filmed between economically depressed areas of London and Margate in Kent, the movie aims to capture an honest portrayal of country lines subculture and its sordid reality, without glorifying it.
The film will be accompanied by an EP soundtrack featuring original tracks from Abra Cadabra and an all-star mix of talent yet to be announced. Alongside upcoming actors Louis Ede and Aaliyah Gohir, ‘Trapping’ also features C-Biz, Femi Oyeniran, OFB and more.
“The movie speaks for itself, it’s got a message behind it, it’s an insight into what you could be getting yourself into trying to go down that road," says Abracadabra. "If it’s not your portion, don’t go for it brother. It shouldn’t be for anyone”.
Femi Oyeniran and Nicky Walker’s Fan Studios will release ‘Trapping’ on their freshly launched exclusive youth and independent film content platform ‘The Drop‘ supported by the BFI, on the September 15 2023 as a limited exclusive.
