First off is, the our hats are off to the New Orleans native, Jason Mitchell did a flawless performance that was so real, it felt like we were watching the real Eazy-E on screen.

Mitchell is a born natural when it comes to being an actor, Jason took on the role Eric Wright and embodied Eazy-E style and essence down to the T. When you watch the film you’re going to be completely blown away.

The New Orleans-based actor, who is ripped by Talent Connation nailed it as Eric Eazy-E Wright in the film Straight Outta Compton. You might remember him from his previous efforts, Contraband (2012) and Broken City (2013).

We are looking forward to Jason’s next project, Keanu (currently filming) where he plays the lead role of Bud in a movie about friends who hatch a plot to retrieve a stolen cat by posing as drug dealers for a street gang. Mitchell’s other project is Vincent-N-Roxxy, he plays Cordell co-starring alongside Emile Hirsch, Zoë Kravitz, Zoey Deutch and Scott Mescudi. Vincent-N-Roxxy is about a small town loner and a rebellious punk rocker unexpectedly fall in love as they are forced on the run and soon discover violence follows them everywhere.

Next up is Corey Hawkins, who played Dr. Dre in Straight Outta Compton. He is a graduate of the Juilliard School.

Hawkins won the John Houseman Award in his 4th year of Juilliard. He made his debut as Tybalt on Broadway opposite Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad in the 2013 revival of Romeo & Juliet.
