With the impending visit to Memphis of hometown platinum-selling rapper Skinny Black, DJay has to make one last hustle if he's ever going to flow. DJay's metamorphosis affects his entire house, as the women in his life-Shug and Nola-find ways to contribute to the creative process. He begins to write down his freestyle raps-his flow-and the two team up with Shelby, a church musician with a beat machine, to lay down bass-thumping crunk tracks. A chance encounter with an old friend, Key, a sound engineer who has always wanted to make it in the music business, spurs DJay: if he's ever going to make his mark, it has to happen now. Still, DJay wonders what happened to all the big dreams he had for his life. Though DJay has always had a way with words, that gift has long been misused this philosopher-hustler lives a dead-end life at the fringes of society. DJay, a streetwise Memphis hustler tries to find a voice and realize his long-buried dreams.
