(11/16/00, 12 p.m. ET) - New Orleans' Cash Money Millionaires have scored another hit with their straight-to-video film Baller Blockin'. After just a month in release, the movie has sold more than 70,000 copies and is Number Three on the Billboard Top Music Video chart. The film stars Juvenile as Tanut, a young adult grappling with whether or not to avenge his father's death. The picture was written, produced, and directed by Cash Money Records CEOs Ronald and Bryan Williams. In addition to Cash Money artists Lil' Wayne, B.G., Mannie Fresh, and Turk, the film also stars comedians T.K. Kirkland and A.J. Johnson.
Juvenile explained the plot in greater detail to LAUNCH: "The movie is basically about me. I'm acting the role, but I'm using my real nickname, which is Tanut. You know, it's, like, my daddy got killed and police is on my back 'cause they know I'm hustling. And my partner Deatrus, he got some coke that one of the police -- he's a crooked cop -- he's trying to get his hands on it, and we're not letting him have it."
The Baller Blockin' soundtrack is currently Number 88 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The collection features the Cash Money Millionaires, E-40, U.G.K., Eightball & MJG, and Capone-N-Noreaga. The next single from the soundtrack will be "Project Chick" by the Cash Money Millionaires.
In related Cash Money news, B.G. is set to release Checkmate, the follow-up to his platinum set Chopper City In The Ghetto, on November 21. The set was produced by Mannie Fresh and features appearances by Lil' Wayne, Turk, Juvenile, and Big Tymers.
The Cash Money Millionaires are presently part of the Jingle Ballers Tour with Nelly, Lil' Kim, Joe, and Profyle. The tour hits the Marine Midland Arena in Buffalo, New York, tonight and the Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, Maryland, tomorrow.
