This is not the story of trauma or "making it big." This is a portrait of young Black musicians very much in progress, dedicated to their craft and brotherhood, and making their first album: 505. Along the way they reflect on their own expressions of masculinity, their hopes for the future of hip hop, and regrets the mistakes they've made navigating the music industry. Featuring interviews with Carl Chery (Head of Urban Music, Rap Caviar Curator, Spotify), Melina Matsoukas (director), Chef Alisa (My 2 Cents), and Black Hazel (Area 51 Records, Virgin Records).
