With a new album set to drop this Friday, it was just announced that Tyga snagged a role in season 3 of MTV’s “Scream” series, which is set to premiere in March 2018.

In the all new version, the rapper/actor will play the character Jamal, a hustler trying to make ends meet for his family. The reboot also features hip-hop royalty C.J. Wallace, the son of the late Notorious ‘B.I.G.’ and Faith Evans.

It was announced back in April that the MTV series would be taking a new direction with female rap icon and actress Queen Latifah being brought on as an executive producer. The six-episode series will air during a special three-night event so you won’t have to wait several months to find out who’s behind the iconic mask.

The rapper is set to release his jam packed hip hop featured album “B*tch I’m The Sh*t” this week and you can check out the tracklist here.
