A vibrant, music-driven comedy about ambition and street hustle in the early hip-hop scene, balancing entrepreneurial optimism with the consequences of risky decisions.

Russell Walker is a young, successful manager of rap performers, handling acts for the Krush Groove label, including Run-DMC and The Fat Boys. When Run-D.M.C. has a hit record and Russell needs more money to press more copies, he borrows it from a street hustler and soon regrets his decision.
