‘Moses The Black’ Sets Global Digital Release With Omar Epps, Wiz Khalifa & Quavo Leading Powerful Crime Drama”

The crime drama Moses The Black, starring Omar Epps, Wiz Khalifa, Quavo, and Chukwudi Iwuji, is preparing for a wide global digital release following its earlier theatrical run. According to Deadline, the film will debut on March 13 across major digital platforms in the United States and key international territories, including Apple, Amazon, Google Play, and YouTube Movies.

Executive‑produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Moses The Black blends modern crime storytelling with spiritual themes, centering on a Chicago gangster’s internal reckoning inspired by the real-life story of a fourth‑century saint. The film takes its name and inspiration from St. Moses the Black, a historical figure known for transforming his life after years of violence and criminality, a parallel that drives the narrative’s emotional and moral weight.

Omar Epps stars as Malik, a powerful Chicago gang leader navigating a world defined by loyalty, violence, and shifting power. Wiz Khalifa portrays 2wo‑3ree, the confident and volatile leader of Malik’s younger crew, whose ambition and instability push the organization toward internal conflict. Quavo takes on the role of Straw, a rival gang leader locked in a struggle for control, intensifying the stakes and fueling the film’s central power dynamic.

The spiritual anchor of the story comes through Chukwudi Iwuji, who portrays St. Moses the Black, weaving the saint’s legacy into the modern-day narrative. The film is directed by Yelena Popovic, known for Man of God, bringing a contemplative lens to a genre traditionally driven by action and conflict. This combination allows the film to operate simultaneously as a crime drama and a meditation on redemption, identity, and consequence.

In addition to its star‑studded cast, Moses The Black features an original soundtrack curated by Wiz Khalifa, with contributions from additional artists. The music plays a central role in shaping the film’s tone, bridging contemporary hip‑hop culture with the story’s deeper themes of transformation and self‑reflection.
