Beloved Bay Area gonzo rapper Lil B the Based God is a truly one-of-a-kind performer, and one who's deep, cavernous catalogue includes thousands and thousands of songs. It's at the point where we aren't even surprised when he drops a six-hour, 101-song mixtape. That work ethic, combined with his endlessly positive world outlook and cult-like fan base, makes him perfect fodder for a documentary. Thankfully, a new film is set to arrive this year.
As Consequence of Sound reports, Lil B's life story will be told in a new documentary called Basedworld.
An IMDb listing says the film will be 95 minutes long, and it currently has a release date of September 17. The film is listed as being in post-production.
The page also offers the following synopsis (sic throughout):
