A great trailer has been released for the record shop comedy Paradise Records , which was written and directed by Sir Robert Bryson Hall II, more commonly known as the rapper Logic, who also stars in the pic. He is joined in the Kevin Smith-produced film by Tramayne Hudson, Reed Northrup, and Mary Elizabeth Kelly. The film's synopsis reads: 'Cooper (Logic), a well-meaning record store owner, is trying to keep the doors of Paradise Records open. He's facing foreclosure, the bank won't give him a loan, someone keeps offering to buy the property — and then a robbery. He's not having a great day. 'Thankfully he's got a motley crew of entertaining employees and a lot of weed to help him figure out how to get himself out of this big mess.' The film features tons of really fun cameos from Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith as Jay and Silent Bob, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ron Perlman, Diedrich Bader, Martin Starr, David Krumholtz, Bobby Lee, Kevin Corrigan and more.

Logic's ‘Paradise Records' Trailer is a Rollicking Chronicle of a ‘Hero's Journey'
Seven years ago, Logic announced that he had written a comedy film. 'I love range, as far as acting, from like drama and all types of stuff, but if I'm going to come out the gate, I just want to make people laugh,' he said during On Air With Ryan Seacrest at the time, teasing that the film would revolve around a record store, but not giving much past that. On Friday, Logic once against traversed genres, and released the trailer for Paradise Records, which he both directs and stars in. A quick synopsis of the film reads: 'Cooper is trying to keep the doors of Paradise Records open with its motley crew of entertaining employees, even as the world works against him.' The clip opens with Cooper (played by Logic) behind the counter of his neighborhood record shop before cutting to a scene of the hard-pressed store owner getting the news that he needs a whopping $178,000 to keep the doors open.
