[edit] Biography
Lil Weavah gained notoriety early in his acting and music career as he gained features on major network television stations such as MTV. His initial role was a Showtime reality based series titled 16 Bars. After corporate sponsors backed out due to budget restrictions, most of the music and footage from the show became promotional material. This was one of the main causes of his mixtape surge and local popularity in 2005.[1] Songs such as "My Rims" appeared regularly as a theme song on popular TV shows such as Rob & Big, Unique Whips, and Breaking Bad.
As an actor, Lil Weavah was most notably known for stage plays. These plays often reflected political or religious topics. In 2008, he played the lead role in a college drama titled "The Exonerated" where he played the role of Delbert Tibbs. Later in 2008, he played the character Thomas Brown in the religious drama titled "Note to God". In 2009, he played a lead role in the Gospel stage play titled "Power of One". His music has also appeared in films such as Ping Pong Playa and Hurricane Season.[2]
