How We Got On

Hank, Julian and Luann are the flip side to the A story of hip hop’s rise in the late 1980s–kids who forge a cultural identity in the white suburbs by dueling with poetry in parking lots and dubbing beats on a boom box. In this coming-of-age tale remixed, A DJ loops us through the lives of three Midwestern teen rappers who discover the power of harmony over discord.
