For quite some time I’ve heard about the upcoming biopic centered around R&B singer Michel’le, and now we have more info on the film which has been titled ‘Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Me‘. The film is set to air this fall on Lifetime, and we have a teaser trailer that was released exclusively to Billboard.
Surviving Compton will tackle the Los Angeles native’s journey through the turbulent days of N.W.A‘s stardom after being signed to Eazy E’s Ruthless Records, becoming Dr. Dre‘s girlfriend and forming romantic ties to Suge Knight. Michel’le, best known for her 1990 hit single “No More Lies,” will be played by Lincoln Heights star Rhyon Nicole Brown.
The film, made in partnership with Sony Pictures Television and Thinkfactory Media, will also feature rising actor Curtis Hamilton as Dre, Scream actor Jamie Kennedy as music manager Jerry Heller, and R. Marcos Taylor reprising his role as Suge Knight after playing the hip-hop mogul in the 2015 blockbuster hit Straight Outta Compton.
Get into the teaser below.
