Beat Street DVD Synopsis:

Brash, bold and breakin' all the rules, this powerful and "gritty, streetwise musical" (LA Herald Examiner) stars Rae Dawn Chong & 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 NewYork 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 escpae the ghetto. But when his friend, a gifted graffiti artist, is killed in a tagic accident, Kenny comes face-to-face with the high price of artistic passion. Now he has to chose between using his talents as a ladder to fame and fortune...or offering them up as a memorial to his friend.
