On the Come Up

Sixteen-year-old Bri dreams of becoming one of the best rappers in history.

The offspring of an underground rap icon who passed away before making it, Bri is determined to fulfill the dreams of her father.

Tired of having little and living in the ghetto, she unleashes her fury in her debut song which goes viral, albeit not for her rapping abilities.

Stranded at the heart of a scandal, Bri knows that she has no other option but to make it, more so because of the financial struggles facing her family.

As such, transforming into the person that the media has created may be a small price to pay.
