Featuring extraordinary break dancing, stunning graffiti art and the revolutionary rapping that launched a hip-hop generation, Beat Street seves up an electrifying display of "nonstop music and dancing" (New York Times)! When talented rapper/DJ Kenney (Davis) meets cultured jazz artist Tracy (Chong), he is so inspired by her dedication that he vows to use his talents to escape the ghetto. But when his friend, a gifted graffiti artist, is killed in a tragic accident, Kenny comes face-to-face with the high price of artistic passion. Now he has to choose between using his talents as a ladder to fam and fortunate..or offering them up as a memorial to his friend.
