Other cast members include Omar Epps, Mekhi Phifer, Michael Rapaport, Ray J, Clarence Williams III, Malinda Williams, Fredro Starr, Faizon Love, and Michael K. Williams. Sticky Fingaz describes the film as 'Godfather Meets Romeo & Juliet'. When asked why he decided against straight dialogue, he explained, "I'm an artist and I create music and at the same time, I'm an actor so it made sense to try something innovative and merge the two together. We'll be doing the same with Onyx's 'Black Rock' album, merging hip-hop and rock. It's a way of tapping into both sides of myself." The film is set to hit theaters in early 2009.

When filming 'Soul Plane', Snoop Dogg tells Radio 1 he insisted his on-set trailer be souped-up and he believes it was so special the cast members spent all the time in his trailer between scenes. "It definitely was the hot spot to be in because everyone else just had a regular trailer," Snoop said. "I mean there ain't nothing in there but a wall and a bathroom.
