In the upcoming film “Holy Rollers,” rapper Q-Tip (Kamaal Ibn John Fareed, born Jonathan Davis) of the critically acclaimed group A Tribe Called Quest, will be starring as an Ethiopian drug dealer known as Ephraim in the movie.
Set in 1999, “Holy Rollers” follows the journey of a young Hasidic Jew, Sam Gold, from an Orthodox Brooklyn community who innocently gets lured into the world of ecstasy drug trafficking by a friend, Barak Zimmerman, with ties to Jackie Solomon, an Israeli drug dealer. Story is inspired by actual events in the 1990’s when Hasidim were recruited as mules to smuggle drugs into the United States. ~ IMDB
