Lil Yachty's been on a heavy grind for the past year. Aside from music, he's also ventured into the film world. After voicing the Green Lantern in the animated motion picture, "Teen Titans Go! To The Movies," the rapper reportedly set to star in MTV's upcoming "How High 2."

Lil Yachty is set to star in MTV's "How High 2," according to a report from Variety. Lil Yachty will take on the role of Roger, the younger brother of one of the original film's protagonists and an entrepreneur. The official description of the film provided by MTV says that Roger and his friend go  “on a magical hash-fueled journey to fund their on-demand munchies delivery start-up."

Yachty's latest opportunity won't only help him build his acting resume, but his business portfolio as well. The rapper will serve as the film's executive producer alongside Coach K, Pee and Brian Sher for Quality Control, which is moving into the film production game. The film is expected to premiere on MTV in 2019.

The "Who Want The Smoke" rapper currently has a full load on his plate. The rapper is getting ready to hit the road with Bhad Bhabie at the end of October through the end of November. The rapper is also getting ready to release his second project of the year, Nuthin 2 Prove, on October 19th, less than a week before he hits the road with Bhad Bhabie on the "Disrespect" tour.
