"BMF COMMING SOON !!! This one is gonna be bigger then POWER," 50 captioned an Instagram photo of a young Meech and T.

Not much has been revealed about the show's cast except that Lil Meech will portray his father. He sat down with DJ Smallz recently to talk about why Big Meech gave the green light to 50, taking acting classes to prepare for the role and the show being reality based.

DJ Smallz: Obviously your family has been pitched with a million ideas, i would imagine. Why was this one greenlit?

Lil Meech: My dad has always had respect for 50 Cent and Randall Emmett, who's also doing the show. It's always been a respect level between them and he just chose 50 to do it. Everybody love 'Power.' Everybody's seen how well they've done 'Power.' It's a good look.

DJ Smallz: Do you personally feel like this is too early for a show like this to come out? Or do you feel like this is the right time?

Lil Meech: I feel this is exactly the right time.

DJ Smallz: 50's been quoted as saying "this show's going to blow you away." Can you explain if it's going to be a fictional story about the BMF or is it going to delve into the real history of the group's rise and fall?

Lil Meech: This is going to be 100% truth. 100% the rise and fall. It's gonna be completely non-fictional. It's gonna express everything, show everything.
