Synopsis
In the early 1980s, the most feared battle MC in Queens, New York, was a fierce teenage girl with the weight of the world on her shoulders. At the age of 14, Lolita "Roxanne Shanté" Gooden was well on her way to becoming a hip-hop legend as she hustled to provide for her family while defending herself from the dangers of the streets of the Queensbridge Projects in NYC.

Critics' reviews 4

"A skillful and ironically gripping coming-of-age movie: a hip-hop anti-biopic."

"It’s bravura filmmaking like this that helps to make this work standout as something more than just another biopic of a relatively obscure figure from music history."
