Hip-hop, a billion-dollar industry, plays up to its links with another billion-dollar industry: drugs. In Oakland CA, wannabe rappers use money from dealing cocaine to pay for studio time. Hip-hop duo, the Hoodstarz, try to avoid the cops after narrowly avoiding a drug bust. In Vegas, a hip-hop promoter uses drug money to pay rappers. And prisoners sell drugs inside to pay producers to mix their songs on the outside, in the hope of making it big.
