Trailer

Why watch this film?

A biographical movie of the rapper Roxanne Shanté, who was hugely successful at just 17 years old in the 1980s. The film brings a hard story, with high doses of reality and drama, showing the underworld of hip-hop in Queens, New York. A good original production from Netflix that, in addition to bringing a woman as the protagonist, brings a nostalgic air for fans of the old guard and memorable performances. It's a pity that the script, in some moments, has its loopholes.
