Rappers Saafir, Lady of Rage Star in Kody ‘Monster’ Scott Movie


The life of best-selling author Kody “Monster” Scott is coming to the big screen. Bay area rapper Saafir will portray Scott in the Billy Wright-directed film, titled Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop. Scott chronicled his life as a child and young adult growing up in Los Angeles as an Eight-Tray Crips gang member in the book Monster: The Autobiography of an L.A. Gang Member from prison. “In the realm of Hip-Hop culture, Kody is an iconic figure,” Wright said. “He is the ‘American Gangster’ of our generation. As a personal friend of Kody’s, this is a project we envisioned years ago.” Scott will narrate the feature via footage of him shot over the years. In addition to Saafir, who was in the 1993 Hughes Brothers drama Menace II Society, former Death Row Records rapper the Lady of Rage will appear in Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop, as Scott’s mother Birdie Scott.
