Trending Position
The best film about the rap-music industry IMO. But it's about so much more than that, it's part mystery, part coming of age drama, part gangster flick, part suspense. With a truly likeable lead actor (which can be rare in these sort of films). A shame that more people haven't seen it, one of ... the best hoodflicks made... Prefer it over both Boyz N The Hood and Belly.
