'The Prince of Hip Hop' breaks new boundaries in film making blending hip hop, animation, drama and documentary. The film is based on the true story of Stanley Harris, a reformed pickpocket and Jehovah's Witness Minister from the Bronx, who claims to be the founder of hip hop. Award winning director/producer (and all round star) Michele D'Acosta has previously worked on Nick Broomfield's documentaries 'Biggie and Tupac','Fetishes' and 'Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam'. A sneak preview of the film was screened at the Gardner Arts Centre, Brighton on May 25th 2006.
Six custom animations were created for six songs by the Lightning Seeds. The animations were projected behind the band during their UK tour.
