Brash, bold and breakin' all the rules, this powerful and “gritty, streetwise musical” (Los Angeles Herald-Examiner) stars Rae Dawn Chong and Guy Davis. Featuring extraordinary break dancing, stunning graffiti art and the revolutionary rapping that launched a hip-hop generation, Beat Street serves up an electrifying display of “nonstop music and dancing” (The New York Times)
When talented rapper/DJ Kenny (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 chose between using his own creative talents as a ladder to fame and fortune...or offering them up as a memorial to his friend.
