Wyclef Jean started on the film as just the musical supervisor, but found himself smack dab in the middle of the production and a supporting role in the movie. We spoke with Cess to talk about getting people to see the film, legally; and what the saying 'bros before hoes' really means. Here's what we talked about:. Where did the concept for Shottas come from?

I started working on the script inwe made the film, and it became a hit classic on the streets. It had been around the block for a while, and my manager had a friend who knew someone at Sony; the movie finally got to him and that's when he said we have to get this out there. All I want is a fair chance to do what it can do; it's a sweet victory, and I'm really grateful, but I wish this could have happened long ago.

I could have made my money back; it's sold 2. How did Wyclef get involved? And so with no rehearsal, I just threw him into the role - cold turkey, he jumped right in. So he was just there for the music. So is that basically the same thing with Kymani; are you guys friends and the two of you came up with it? Let's go! So how did you come up with the concept?

It's what I know; this is a movie from the streets of Jamaica, but I look at a lot of these mobs; there's the Russian mob, there's the Jewish mob, and that's where Shottas comes in. Everyone knows about what goes on, but they don't know the inside; this is what life is like. Can you relate to these guys; is this your culture? I knew many Biggs' and Wayne's and Mad Max's, and some of them aren't around today; in the movie, I have a 'In Memoriam' section of all my friends who have passed away since I shot Shottas.

There are 50 names, and only one died of natural cause; so yeah, I know these guys. I know Biggs, I know Wayne, and it's a very dear story to me. I gotta know, the battle scene where Kymani jumps behind the couch - he leaves his woman out to dry! In real life, you gotta look out for you; you can't sugar coat it.
