Rappin Granny film wins another independent film award

A 68-year-old female rapper, known as "Rappin` Granny", recently wrapped up the top spot at the recent "Indie Movie Gathering" held in Ohio. Granny`s parody film "Ya Grandma`s A Gangsta" took home first place honors.

"Ya Grandma`s A Gangsta" recently won first place at a New York film festival and the Rappin` Grammy herself was elated when she heard the news of yet another festival win.

"I jumped out of my wheel chair (with spinning platinum rims) and said `Go Granny!`, cause at my age it`s great to just be alive and banging out some music beats for the kids." she said.

The film parody was written and produced by Hip Hop feature film writer, producer, director and editor Tim Greene Of "Tim Greene Films".
