In the world of battle rap, Bri Jackson is a 16-year-old force to be reckoned with. With her sharp lyrics and unapologetic style, she's determined to lift her family out of struggles and make a name for herself in the legacy of her late father, a local hip-hop legend. But as her first hit song goes viral, Bri finds herself torn between the authenticity that got her this far and the false persona that the industry wants to impose upon her.
