Turn It Up

"How you gonna win?"

Trying to bootstrap his way out of Brooklyn\'s mean streets is Diamond, a rap musician. With his long-time pal Gage acting as his manager, he\'s trying to lay down a demo tape with cut-rate studio time. To pay the bills, he and Gage run drugs for \"Mr. B.\" Inside a week, Diamond\'s beloved mother dies suddenly, his father appears after an absence of 12 years and wants a relationship, and his girlfriend Kia tells him she\'s pregnant, asking him if he\'s ready to be a father. Gage steals $100,000 in a multiple-felony robbery so that Diamond can record a full album, not knowing it\'s Mr. B\'s money he\'s taken. B wants his money, Diamond wants his music, Tia wants an answer.
