Matt Roush says...

A very different sort of musical journey unfolds in actor-director Sanaa Lathan’s feature-directing debut, about the rise of Bri (Jamila C. Gray), a 16-year-old female rapper living in the shadow of her father, a hip-hop legend killed too soon. Bri finds her voice through a series of rap battles, but when her first hit goes viral in a negative way, she has to decide just what she wants her image to be. Lathan co-stars as her mother, in recovery from addiction, and Cliff “Method Man” Smith appears as a rich career-maker who thinks he can turn Bri into a star.
