Freddie Gibbs is stepping in front of the camera more as an actor. He just appeared in the television series Power Book IV: Force and Peacock’s Bust Down and now he is sharing his debut in a feature film with Down With The King. Xabi Molia and Diego Ongaro co-wrote the film and Ongaro is also the director. The story follows Gibbs’ character Money Merc who also is a rapper and his manager-directed retreat from the music industry on a farm. The audience sees Merc submerge himself into the rural community while contemplating his career as he goes through a deeper self-discovery that leads him to a new path. Gibbs also serves as an executive producer on the film that is a critics’ choice selection at 26 film festivals. Down With The King comes out June 28th via video on demand.
