Sean Paul Explains DMX’s Role in Getting Him in the “Belly” Film

Sean Paul is widely regarded as one of the most prolific and successful dancehall artists.

However, many fans are unaware of his appearance in the cult classic film, Belly. HipHopDX caught up with the dancehall legend, who explained how DMX got him an appearance in the film early on in his career. The “Gimme The Light” artist said his acquaintance with DMX began after the two collaborated on the song, “Top Shotter.” Paul talked about skipping an annual dance to work on music only to find out DMX was at the event. Upset by the missed opportunity, Sean Paul ended up getting a call to work with DMX and Mr. Vegas. It was explained to him that Hype Williams wanted a song to put in Belly so he and Mr. Vegas built the record prior to DMX arriving at the studio.
