After later knowing it was Al Kapone he gave him an opportunity to submit a song which Brewer ended up liking the submitted song "Hustle & Flow (It Ain't Over)" so much it landed him not only with that one song on the soundtrack, but an additional three songs with one being "Whoop That Trick" performed by Terrance Howard who portrayed DJay in Hustle & Flow. Hustle & Flow director Craig Brewer spoke to Al Kapone through a mistaken identity phone conversation whereas he mistook him as DJ Paul of Three 6 Mafia. In Al Kapone's case, he also played a major role in the movie soundtrack. Although, DJ Paul of Three 6 Mafia who appears in the film gained most from the film for Oscar-winning song "Hard Out Here For A Pimp," other local rappers also appear in the film like Nashville's Haystak, and Memphis' own Free Sol and Al Kapone. Known mostly for his legendary singles and multitude of Memphis rap classics such as "What They Doin" off the album "Goin All Out" and "Lyrical Drive By" from the album "What Cha Got", just to name a few, Al Kapone tells in a phone interview that his popularity has grown from his role in the movie Hustle & Flow (Paramount Classics, MTV Films, & New Deal Entertainment).
