G-Eazy will star as a drug dealer named Silas in the forthcoming film All Souls, and a peek into his performance can be seen in the new trailer — check it out below.
All Souls is a thriller under the Lionsgate umbrella that tells the story of a young confidential informant, who is sent on an undercover operation to help the police track down their target, Silas (G-Eazy).

As described by Screen Rant, the film is “a look into the United States’ War on Drugs, focusing specifically on those who are forced into working with the police as a result of their own illegal activity.”
All Souls arrives in theaters, On Demand, and digital platforms on December 8.
G-Eazy made his film debut in 2019’s Hustlers, which stars Jennifer Lopez and also features Cardi B making her film debut as well. Earlier this year, he appeared in the horror film Alone at Night playing Tom Montana, which makes All Souls his third official appearance on the silver screen.
On the music side, the Bay Area rapper returned earlier this year after taking a break from Hip Hop to mourn the loss of his mother – and he’s let it be known that he wants to be better than ever before.

Speaking to Something About Rocks in July, G-Eazy discussed his current mindset, and how it’s influencing his professional decisions.
“My intentions are clear,” he told the outlet. ” I want to reclaim the spot that was mine and I’m coming for it with aggressive, direct intention, but you have to balance that with humility and self-awareness as well.”

G also said that his album was a “pull-the-curtain-back type of thing,” and that his true long-term career endgame had a bit more of a noble pursuit.
“I want to put out a truly incredible body of work that gets recognized and received in the right way,” he said. “I’m really excited for this album. It’s so exciting to be having fun again. I love rap. I love getting to make music.”

G-Eazy lost his mother, Suzanne Olmsted, in late 2021 – just two months after dropping his These Things Happen Too album. She was G’s biggest supporter, and the lyricist penned a vulnerable eulogy to commemorate her on Instagram.
“The shock still won’t let me accept the feeling that I’ll never get to hug you in person again,” he wrote. “My queen, my hero, my everything…my mom.”
He followed up this tribute with a single titled “Angel” in 2022, a measured, guitar-ladden ballad far different from any of the snappy commercial rap beats on These Things Happen Too. The song wasn’t part of any roll-out – he made it just to celebrate his mother. He followed it with a well-deserved break from music for the rest of the year.
G released the first single off his as-of-yet untitled new album, “Tulips & Roses” back in March. On the Gabriels-sampled track, the rapper affirms that he’s back in the game and ready to dominate again.

He also debuted four new songs — “Be My Guest,” “Free Throws,” “Nada” and “Beautiful Surrender” — at a special fan show at The Fonda in Los Angeles in May. It’s unclear for now if they’ll be on his forthcoming album.
