CB4 (1993)

In the pulsating world of hip-hop, three ambitious friends - Albert Brown, Rip, and Otis - tread an unconventional path to stardom. With their dreams larger than their talents, they dip their toes into every trick and scheme in the book, striving to crack the enigma of the music industry. Their aspirations take a radical turn when they decide to dive headfirst into the gritty realm of gangster rap, with Albert donning the persona of the infamous M.C. Gusto - a local crime lord currently paying his dues in prison. This transformation births the rap group "CB4", featuring the newly christened M.C Gusto, alongside Stab Master Arson and Dead Mike. Their journey, a riveting 'rapumentary', takes us through their meteoric rise to fame, fueled more by their audacious personas than their actual musical prowess. Yet, in the paradoxical world of music, a dearth of talent seldom hinders sales. All that matters is mastering the part of a rap star. However, their masquerade doesn't go unnoticed. The real M.C. Gusto, seething in his prison cell, discovers the ruse and plots a chilling revenge. Their fame becomes a double-edged sword, as they must now face the wrath of the man whose identity they've stolen, who not only wants a taste of their success but also vengeance. This captivating story of ambition, deception, and the price of fame, promises a rollercoaster ride through the underbelly of the rap industry.
