For those unfamiliar with QuanDot, he is a rapper who has recently come onto the scene from Columbus, Ohio, who now lives in LA. In 2018 the rapper showed his seriousness by releasing three albums totaling 35 songs. Now in 2020, QuanDot potentially received the break he was looking for with his album reaching two hundred fifty-thousand views, making him the spotlight in LA and back home.

The project is a collaboration with him and rapper Mone 2much. The two teamed up expecting the album to go big but have recently had their expectations exceeded. A favorite from the album is the song called “Thicc Bitch,” and is now both artists’ highest streamed song. The song gained its numbers by having versatility as it fits perfectly in the club setting and car jam playlists.

From being a local artist in Columbus to now living in LA and exploding on Spotify, QuanDot is one artist that should be watched. Not knowing how much farther the project could go, it will be exciting to see where the Ohio native goes.

Sitting in the dimly lit theater, I had no idea what to expect as the opening credits of “The Firing Squad” began to roll. Little did I know that I was about to embark on an emotional journey that would leave me reaching for tissues and struggling to catch my breath.

The film follows the true story of three Christians facing execution by firing squad in a third world country. Directed by Timothy A. Chey, it features a stellar cast including James Barrington, Kevin Sorbo, and Cuba Gooding Jr. Each actor brings their character to life with such authenticity and depth that it’s impossible not to be fully immersed in their struggles and triumphs.

As the plot unfolded, I found myself drawn into a world of despair and desperation, but also one of unwavering faith and hope. The characters’ journey from darkness to light, from despair to redemption, resonated with me on a deeply personal level. I couldn’t help but be moved by their courage and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.

But it was the performances that truly stole the show. James Barrington’s portrayal of the protagonist’s internal turmoil was nothing short of mesmerizing, while Kevin Sorbo and Cuba Gooding Jr. delivered powerhouse performances that left me in awe.

And then there was the message of the film—that no matter how bleak the circumstances may seem, there is always hope. That even in our darkest moments, faith has the power to transform lives and bring about redemption. It was a message that hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving me with tears streaming down my face and a renewed sense of purpose.

As the credits rolled and the lights came up, I found myself struggling to put into words the impact that “The Firing Squad” had on me. All I could manage was, “I cried buckets of tears.” And I wasn’t alone. As I looked around the theater, I saw others wiping their eyes and exchanging emotional glances.

In the end, “The Firing Squad” wasn’t just a movie—it was an experience. An experience that left me feeling inspired, uplifted, and profoundly grateful for the power of cinema to touch the soul. And for that, I will be forever grateful.

The movie is set to premiere in the theatres worldwide on August 2, 2024. And this is definitely a must watch movie, reminding people of the strength of faith.
