Russell (Blair Underwood), a manager of struggling rap artists, borrows money from villain Jay in order to make ends meet. But after his clients become successful, Russell can’t pay back the loan — much to Jay’s consternation. A groovy musical about a struggling record company in a large city, this cult classic explores the 1980s New York hip-hop underground via the music of Sheila E., Run DMC, the Fat Boys, Kurtis Blow and many more.
