Overview

Sidney and Dre can attribute their lifelong friendship and the launch of their careers to one single childhood instant... witnessing the birth of hip-hop on a New York street corner.

Both come to realize that their true life passions will only be fulfilled by remembering what they learned that day on the corner.
