With the story of Biggie Smalls in theaters now, the rap world is gaining some momentum in Tinseltown. The Hollywood Reporter states that ‘Notorious’ screenwriter Cheo Hodari Coker is attached to adapt Bill Adler’s “Tougher Than Leather: The Rise of Run-DMC — The Authorized Biography” for DJ Classicz, the urban arm of Davis Entertainment. DJ Classicz President Dallas Jackson optioned the book recently and will produce it with production partner John Davis.
