Brash, bold and breakin' all the rules, this powerful and "gritty, streetwise musical" (L.A. 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"
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 choose between using his talents as a ladder to fame and fortune...or offering them up as a memorial to his friend.
