A documentary about the life and death of Latino rapper Big Pun is scheduled to be released later this year, according to AllHipHop.com.
Titled "Big Pun: The Legacy," the film is said to include never-before-seen interviews and performances from Pun, as well as reflections from fellow hip hop artists inspired by the late rapper, including the Wu-Tang Clan, DMX, Snoop Dogg, Chuck D, Rosie Perez, Mobb Deep, and Cypress Hill.
The project was originally announced last summer, but was delayed over post-production and distribution issues, the Web site reported. At press time, a release date had not been set.
Pun, born Christopher Carlos Rios Jr., died of a heart attack on Feb.
7, 2000 at the age of 28. The death was caused in part by his weight, which at one point had ballooned to over 500 pounds.
Since his death, two posthumous albums ("Yeeeah Baby," "Endangered Species") and a controversial documentary ("Still Not a Player") from his widow Liza Rios have been released.
