Nas teamed up with documentarian Adam Sjoberg and producer David Jacobson for Shake The Dust, a film that shows how breakdancing is being used around the world for social change.

Beyond being executive producer, Nas is also slated to provide original music for the film, as per hollywoodreporter.com.

“What these kids are doing around the world reminds me why I fell in love with Hip Hop and how important it is as a creative and constructive outlet,” Nas said in a statement.

“After hearing Adam’s vision for this project and hearing the stories, I was incredibly excited to help bring the film to global audiences who need to hear this surprising message of empowerment,” Nas said.
