Citty Makes Big Screen Debut!!

ATLANTA, GA (Top40 Charts/ Citty Official Website) - Citty, aka Da Cookie Man, makes his acting debut in the movie ATL. The plot is loosely based on Dallas Austin and Tionne Watkins' experiences growing up in Atlanta, and revolves around five teens who spend their Sundays at a roller rink called Cascades. The inspiration for the movie came from the Jellybeans roller-rink, where Austin, Jermaine Dupri, Outkast and the Goodie Mob, frequented in the '80s.

The film stars T.I., who plays a high school senior trying to protect his younger brother Jellybean, played by Diana Ross' son Evan Ross Naess, from the lure of the street life. The tension escalates when Big Boi's character, the drug dealing Marcus, tempts Jellybean with the promise of fast money. The cast also includes Atlanta artists Killer Mike, Bone Crusher, Jazze Pha, DJ Drama, and T Mo Goodie.

Says the ever-busy Citty, 'I actually have a cameo in it, in a couple of scenes. I went to a casting call – I was on the grind as usual - and was chosen for a movie the end of 2004. The same company casted for the ATL movie in the summer of 2005. They called me and I went. I was on the set filming for a week straight. In the movie I was in a click called R.I.P click.'
Directed by Chris Robinson and produced by Austin, T-Boz and Will Smith's Overbrook Entertainment, "ATL" will hit theaters March 31.

Meanwhile, Citty's debut single, 'Da Cookieman,' continues to heat up airwaves across the country, garnering play in Savannah, Montgomery, Miami, Jacksonville, Minneapolis, Richmond, Washington, DC, Memphis, Norfolk, Houston, Chicago and Baton Rouge, among others.
