About

For Jimmy Smith, Jr., life is a daily fight just to keep hope alive. Feeding his dreams in Detroit's vibrant music scene, Jimmy wages an extraordinary personal struggle to find his own voice - and earn a place in a world where rhymes rule, legends are born and every moment… is another chance.

A raw, stuttering vulnerability fuels this portrait of a struggling lyricist fighting to escape the crushing weight of poverty. The claustrophobic battle rap scenes capture the electric, nervous energy of a basement showdown where words are the only currency that matters.
