This movie takes an inside look at the independent urban music scene in Toronto. The documentary is blended with elements of music video and journey's into diverse neighborhoods in Toronto during a year when guns, rap and crime were topics at the top of everybody's mind. While investigating the underground rap world, a critique of mainstream media also emerges.
With Toronto's surge in gun crime during 2005 some people have pointed the finger at rap music and the gansta culture it may inspire. Has the attention on gansta rap overshadowed the many positives of a complex hip hop culture? Does rap or media glamorization of violence play any part in influencing crime on the streets?
