Paramount Pictures and BBC Films have announced that Rapman's BLUE STORY will be getting made into its very own full-length feature film later this year.  

Rapman blew up off the back of the ground-breaking music and short film trilogies, which resulted in viral sensation Shiro’s Story. Shiro’s Story, set to his original music and lyrics, features a gripping storyline of two friends driven apart by London’s violent gang culture in South London. The original series was huge, and Rapman went on to get signed to JAY-Z's Roc Nation. As well as his usual involvement via narration and rap, Rapman has assembled a contemporary ensemble cast of up and coming talent, which includes: Stephen Odubola (The Legend Of Tarzan), Micheal Ward (The A-List), Khali Best (Eastenders, Endeavour and Shiro's Story Pt 2), Max Fincham (Pokemon Detective Pikachu, The Alienist), Kadeem Ramsay (Sex Education, My Brother The Devil), Karla-Simone Spence (Wannabe) and Eric Kofi-Abrefa (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Fury). Junior Afolabi Salokun and Micaiah Lewis will make their feature film debuts.

BLUE STORY will take Rapman’s own personal experiences and aspects of his childhood and converts them into a compelling feature film for the big screen. Rapman, BLUE STORY’s writer, director, narrator and exec producer said: “It’s a dream come true to be making my first feature film with Paramount and BBC Films, they believe in the story as much as I do I can’t wait for the world to see it.”
