Jodeci’s Mr. Dalvin Announces A Biopic About The R&B Group Is In The Works (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) The positive feedback for the N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton as well as The New Edition Story mini-series has put a lot of attention on possible projects about other Hip Hop and R&B stars.

It was revealed Nas’ life will be told in a forthcoming BET program titled Street Dreams, and the highly anticipated 2Pac movie All Eyez On Me is set for release this summer.

Yet another chart-topping 1990’s act is getting the biopic treatment as well.

Jodeci member Mr. Dalvin informed Q102.1 that a film about the legendary R&B group will likely be finished by the end of 2017.

“They started the process last September. They finished the script, and it’s going into production next month. So we’re looking at an end-of-the-year release,” said Dalvin. “VH1 bought the rights.”

Jodeci is responsible for creating popular songs like “Forever My Lady,” “Cry for You,” “Feenin’,” and “Freek’n You.”

Dalvin, JoJo, DeVante, and K-Ci’s first three certified platinum LPs reached #1 on the R&B Album chart.

After a 20 year break, the group returned in 2015 with The Past, The Present, The Future album.

Jodeci has also been seen on Puff Daddy’s “Bad Boy Reunion Tour” and the revamped Showtime At The Apollo over the last few months.
