Noname Doesn’t Join Ghetto Sage Co-Stars On ‘Judas & The Black Messiah’ Soundtrack
Source: PYMCA / Getty Noname emerged as one of the most potent wordsmiths of her generation but currently spends her days leading a well-organized book club and embracing revolutionary themes. The Chicago native was absent from a track featuring her Ghetto Sage bandmates in Saba and Smino on a song from the Judas & The Black Messiah soundtrack, which she says had to do with the film’s portrayal of the late Fred Hampton. Executive produced by Hit-Boy, Dash Sherrod, Ryan Coogler, and Archie Davis, the Judah & The Black Messiah soundtrack features a bevy of big names such as Jay-Z, Nas, H.E.R., JID, Masego, Rapsody, and a verse from the late Nipsey Hussle among others.

Ugandan-British actor Daniel Kaluuya will star as the late activist in an upcoming film, Judas and the Black Messiah. In a new trailer for the Shaka King-directed Judas and the Black Messiah, Kaluuya stars as Hampton, who was rising as a bold voice for Black revolution in the late 1960s as the deputy chairman of the Black Panthers’ national body. Tragically, Hampton was murdered in cold blood as he slept by Chicago police in December 1969 at age 21, leaving behind a young son who would grow up to follow his father’s footsteps, and also served as a consultant on the film. Joining Kaluuya is his Get Out co-sta...
