This custom trailer was made by the Uptown Theatre’s Patrick Cross. So awesome! “Get Fresh” kicks in around the 1:00 mark. I think Muja Messiah's music should be used in every movie trailer.  Muja Messiah will be playing a short set of music before Scarface at the Uptown Theatre on Saturday, March 21 at 11:45 PM. More details to come, I just couldn’t wait to show you guys Patrick’s trailer.- SwitchbladeComb.com

Though director Brian De Palma could never have predicted the cult phenomenon that developed around Scarface, it meshes well with his subversive vision of the remake as a raw, trashy answer to The Godfather, with all that tasteful, burnished decor stripped away. Instead of depicting Al Pacino as the reserved, thoughtful heir to the family business, De Palma casts him as a scrappy, impolite gangster of the people, encouraging him to tackle every overwritten Oliver Stone line as if it were another teeming mountain of cocaine. Upon its 1983 release, Scarface was considered De Palma’s bid for respectability after a run of sleazy Hitchcockian thrillers, but his bold, irreverent party-crasher of an epic flies in the face of other, more stately affairs. Local rapper Muja Messiah performs before this midnight screening.- twincities.decider.com

Being bad never felt so good. Oliver Stone's crime drama following the life of an 80's drug lord, screens tonight at the rowdy hour of midnight. In this cult classic gangster Tony Montana rises to the top of the criminal underground while copious amounts of cocaine and violence heat up the screen, not to mention Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer at their all-time sexiest. The film developed a cultural following for its quotable one-liners, memorable movie posters, Miami mobstyle clothing, Giorgio Moroder music and its general bad-assness -- especially influencing the hip hop scene. And what better way to introduce the film than with a performance by local rapper, Muja Messiah (who in our opinion is a lot hotter than Tony Montana!)

Muja Messiah
Those who hustle tend to get ahead in whatever their game of choice, and that fact isn't lost on local MC Muja Messiah, who at every turn concerns himself with staying one step ahead of the pack. Recently returning from Las Vegas, where he was recording material that follows the release of last year's Thee Adventures of a B-Boy D-Boy and MPLS Massacre mixtape, Muja looks to be on pace for another release this year that will help advance his presence amongst the Twin Cities' elite MCs. In addition to recently debuting a few new tracks, such as "Red Rover" and "We Survived the Bush Era," Muja's been on a tear, performing at high-profile gigs such as Dre Day VII and 3 the Hard Way, which also featured the likes of Atmosphere, Brother Ali, and Toki Wright. In another interesting gig, Muja will be performing prior to a showing of Scarface at the Uptown Theatre, the latest in a unique series that has been running throughout the winter. 18+.  by Chris DeLine
