Tislam "Tiz" Milliner leads a precarious existence in a housing
project in East New York, Brooklyn. Locally, he's a rap star. Tiz
dreams of landing a record deal and getting out of the projects.
His girlfriend, L'eisha Wilson, is pregnant with his baby, and Tiz
struggles to distance himself from his former criminal life, and to
bear his adult responsibilities. His exuberant manager, Billy Dee,
arranges for Tiz to meet with legendary gangsta rapper Kool G. Rap,
and the two hit it off, offering a glimmer of promise for the
future. Meanwhile, Tiz's childhood friend, Mel, gets out of prison
and re-enters his life. For Mel, there's no question of what
direction to go in. "I won't work," he states bluntly. For Mel,
who's spent most of his adult life in prison, there's no other
option but crime. Despite their differences in lifestyle and
attitude, the two maintain their tight friendship.
