It's been a big year for LA-based recording artist KYLE. The "iSpy" rapper dropped his debut, full-length studio album Light of Mine back in May, and now, he's about to make his feature acting debut in his new Netflix film, The After Party, on August 24th.
The After Party is written and directed by Ian Edelman and produced by Q, Jamie Patricof, Katie McNeill, Douglas Banker, Trevor Engelson, Jake Stein and Heather Parry. According to Netflix, the flick is about "when an aspiring rapper goes viral for the wrong reasons, he thinks his career is sunk. But a wild party gives him one more chance to make it right."
The cast of the movie includes Kyle Harvey (KYLE), Harrison Holzer, Shelley Hennig, Teyana Taylor, Jordan Rock, Amin Joseph, Andy Buckley and Blair Underwood. The After Party also features cameos from some of the hottest superstars in hip hop like Wiz Khalifa, French Montana, DJ Khaled, Ski Mask the Slump God, Desiigner, Pusha T, Jadakiss, Tee Grizzley, Young M.A., and more.
On Twitter, KYLE revealed his movie's release date, along with a sentimental message about his dreams of being in a movie coming true. He wrote, "I'm so excited to announce the release date of my very first movie THE AFTER PARTY, coming to Netflix on AUG 24th! This is something i've dreamed about my entire life...
