Beat Street
Budding disc jockey and MC Kenny Kirkland is working as a featured DJ at a house party at an abandoned building, accompanied by his best friend Ramon, a graffiti artist known by his tag "Ramo", and his friend/manager Chollie, when his younger brother Lee crashes the party with his dance crew the Beat Street Breakers, who begin sparring with rival crew the Bronx Rockers. The next day, Chollie arrives and informs Kenny of complimentary tickets to the Roxy, one of Manhattan's most popular nightclubs. Meanwhile, Ramon's father Domingo implores his son to get a job and marry Carmen, the young mother of his illegitimate baby.
