While visiting the city of Boston I sat on a panel with Play [Christopher Martin] of the legendary group Kid-N-Play. That duo deserves major props for all the work they did with the House Party flicks. I saw one of the their films the other day and forgot just how funny they were. Play explained he now lives Birmingham, Alabama where he's a witness for his church. He's said he needed a break from the hectic activities of the music industry and has reconnected with God in a major way. During our panel on Hip Hop and Faith, Play was eloquently weaving his reallife story, Bible scripture and his personal testamoniy in his remarks.

Nowadays, he's working on a movie called 'Brother Lang's Last Call' which features former New Edition singer Ralph Trasvent, singer Shirley Murdock, rapper BB Jay and comedian Small Fry. The plot revolves around the religious awakening of a guy named Brother Lang. Look for that movie to drop sometime in the fall. Play didn't say whether or not Kid will be in the movie. He did note that his former partner has gotten into stand up comedy. So I guess we should look for Kid to come to a comedy club near you soon. That makes sense considering the last couple of times I ran into Kid he was hanging out with comedian Tommy Davidson.
