Collier, who directed the film, and crew traveled extensively throughout the U.S. by RV to capture the stories of the people who are making their living from Hip-Hop; everyone from local rap acts selling CD's from their cars, to clothing designers and hairdressers to DJ's, producers and record artists.
Among these compelling stories is the tale of Luda, who Collier's crew met in Atlanta just months before he landed his recording contract and launched what would become a multi-platinum career.
