Fan CastingStretch: The Untold Story

"Stretch: The Untold Story" will take audiences on a deep dive into the life of Randy “Stretch” Walker, a man whose legacy in hip hop has long been overshadowed by the infamous deaths of those around him. Through raw, never-before-seen footage and emotional storytelling, the film will showcase the duality of Stretch’s existence—as a loyal friend to Tupac Shakur and a burgeoning talent in the rap world, while also navigating the perils of the streets that ultimately led to his tragic death. From his early days in the gritty streets of Queens, New York, Stretch’s journey into the spotlight begins as he forms Live Squad, a rap group that pushes the boundaries of hardcore rap. His raw talent catches the attention of 2Pac, and soon, Stretch is brought into the fold of Thug Life—a revolutionary movement that would define a generation. However, as the Thug Life crew rises to fame, internal conflicts and external pressures begin to fracture relationships. The shocking 1994 shooting of Tupac Shakur in a New York recording studio is a pivotal moment in the story, marking the end of Stretch’s collaboration with the rapper and setting the stage for a tragic fall from grace. Stretch's growing sense of disillusionment with the entertainment industry, coupled with the dangerous street politics surrounding him, come to a head as he faces betrayal, violence, and ultimately, his own untimely demise.
