Atlas Da African is one of the few Ugandan rappers that do real hip-hop despite the constant struggle to stay in the limelight which one can easily explain since Ugandans do not seem to appreciate the genre.
Atlas has done several songs like Ahh ahhh ahh with Jose Chameleone, Movie star among others but unfortunately has failed to get the desired airplay.
Could it be upon this background that the Prince is venturing into movie making?
The CEO of Deuces Entertainment Group, Atlas revealed that he will be working on a movie project this year 2015. This project is believed to be directed by Sasha Vybz. This is pending the release of the project title.
Atlas was seen playing with what most filmmakers love to call a ‘toy’–a red epic camera–that is expected to be used in the production of this movie.
It’s a beautiful idea to hear such names come out to appreciate and be part of the movie industry fraternity but the question is, is Sasha vybes the right person to direct this project?
What has been hampering the progress of the industry in Uganda is closely related to what Atlas is about to do; employing video makers and wedding camera men as movie directors and cinematographers.
Meanwhile, snoops have it that Sasha Vybz is planning to attend his very first classes for cinematography in SA.
