Regina King and Dana Dane are working together to bring Dane’s “Cinderfella” to the big screen. According to TMZ, the script is done and they are searching for actors with the possibility of Ice Cube’s participation. Dane used a combination of Cinderella and Jerry Lewis’s Cinderfella to create his own urban tale that became a classic of hip-hop’s Golden Era.

[youtube id=”oaY_ywp5Y4w”] Dana Dane was a member of the Kangol Crew along with Slick Rick, Cooley Brown, Omega The Heartbreaker and Kool Luv Ski. Rick and Dane were close friends and he hailed from the Bronx and Dane was from Brooklyn. They both had superior tailoring, sported English accents (Dane’s was affected) and had the ability to tell a good story. In D-Nice’s True Hip-Hop Stories, Dane explained that “Cinderfella Dana Dane” was inspired by a Cinderella comic book he saw in Brooklyn’s Fulton Mall and Jerry Lewis’s Cinderfella. He wanted to use both stories to create his own urban tale of escaping the Fort Greene projects. Hurby “Luv Bug” Azor produced “Cinderfella Dana Dane” and the whole Dana Dane With Fame album. The album achieved Gold status but there was never a video made for “Cinderfella Dana Dane.” Dane’s Rollin’ Wit Dana Dane was his last major label album and in 2005 he independently released Dana Dane and The Great Unknowns. In 2009, he saw the release of his first novel Numbers. Dana Dane is currently touring the United States and has tour stops on the west coast this summer.

First, before folks get mad – this is not an attempt to re-create classics, just a tribute to Old School Hip-Hop, made for the fun and love of it.

Back in 2006, under-the-radar producer nomadic trackz released “Back To The Beat: Old School Classics – Remixed” – a free remix project which was done as a tribute to Old School Hip-Hop.

Back To The Beat caught the ears of many. Legendary artists like T LA Rock, Rev Run, MC Lyte, Mike G / Jungle Brothers, and JVC Force (who were all remixed on the project), took a listen and gave props. Media outlets such as Allhiphop, MTV’s Mixtape Monday, Hiphopgame, Okayplayer, Mass Appeal, XLR8R, Billboard, and others all gave the project love.
