The three friends are all navigating their way through the same industry seeking different avenues, but bonded by their love for Hip-Hop.  Dj Premeir served as the projects executive music producer, while scoring and composing for the movie.

The Hip-Hop series just earned its first season from their highly rated test run. “The Breaks” ranked No. 2 for a cable original movie with the combined 2.6 million viewers from its premiere and encore.

Like rap? Like to read? You don’t even have to say yes to both to love Dan Charnas’s book The Big Payback. Released in December to critical acclaim, The Big Payback is the story of rap’s rise from rec room diversion to multi-billion dollar juggernaut. Dan gave Complex the Cliffs Notes version when the book dropped, and this weekend he’s appearing at various bookstores around Los Angeles giving readings and talking rap. It’s a fascinating book, we can’t imagine they won’t be a series of fascinating readings as well.
