We know 360 can spit a rhyme or two and he’s certainly mastered the art of social media, but fans are about to see the Melbourne emcee add another string to his bow with the release of the Aussie independent film Is This The Real World.

The film, directed by Martin Mckenna and featuring Sean Keenan, Greg Stone, Susie Porter, Charlotte Best, hit the international festival circuit back in 2014 where it received widespread acclaim, and is about to see an official Australian release.

360, real name Matt Colwell, recently shared his excitement over the film’s release via his official Facebook page, telling fans, “I really admire the art of acting – it’s something I’ve always wanted to do.”

“I was extremely lucky to be offered a role in this movie a few years ago and now its finally coming out. Exciting!” Sixty makes a few appearances in the trailer for the film, which you can check out below, as “bad boy Jimmy”.

According to a synopsis from the Lorne Film Festival, Is This The Real World tells the story of Mark, a troubled kid who arrives in a new town and a new school with his fractured family and butts heads with the school principal as he falls in love with the principal’s daughter.

Sixty plays Jimmy, Mark’s “dangerous and carefree” brother who is “dicing with the law”. According to the film’s website, Is This The Real World is set to hit Australian cinemas later this year.
