Featured reviews
Poorly directed and one of the most boring films out there...barely entertainment. The Griswolds had far better quality entertainment on tv in the London hotel when on their European vacation.
I think actor has done good job.. looks like good Amount of life lessons and some great rap battles...it's underrated.. it's about a journey of a rapper who tries to fit in to the game and make sense of his life along side..
I never knew this was out and I do like a bit of battle rap now and again but was so moved by the story and the performance it has inspired me to review this (which is something i never normally do). But all I can say is wow I was glued to the monitor watching it, I paid £3.5 rent it on google play and it was money well spent, for a small film it did really well. Highly recommend watching it even if you do not like battle rap.
The rap battles being done A copella is more don't flop and usa street ciphers, not like uk scene like lord of the mics where mcs spit over beats, i know pro green came from the jump off which is this style but rhays when the uk d8snt have an established platform to preform on in our own way !!!
This movie very much comes across as the British version of 8 Miles.
Adam is a 17 year old youth with anger issues since being rejected by his young mum at the age of 4.
Growing up in various foster homes, he will reach the end of the social care system when he turns 18.
It is implied he might end up in secure accommodation due to his volatile temper.
A chance encounter brings him into contact with the local rap battle scene.
It gives Adam an opportunity to meet new people. Also to come to terms with the relationship with his natural mother.
The rap part is weak and your mileage might vary with rappers insulting each other often using homophobic language. Even worse when a white rapper uses Jamaican homophobic terms.
However I did get caught up in Adam's story and director Ed Lilly did a good job in using a rap battle for Adam to finally understand what her mother might have gone through as a single mother at the age of 16.
