There, he meets another inmate, Bama (TERRENCE HOWARD), who not only saves his life, but also wants to become his manager and nurture the young man's natural talent for rap music. Having recently hooked back up with his childhood friend Charlene (JOY BRYANT), Marcus ends up in prison for his drug dealings. Yet, there's too much bad blood between them, and with Levar headed off for prison, Majestic takes over and only ratchets up the feud and related killings.
Accordingly, Majestic's boss, the godfather-type Levar (BILL DUKE), tries to establish a truce between the two warring factions.
The highly competitive drug-dealing business, however, has run them afoul of a network of Columbian drug dealers, such as Raoul (WALTER ALZA), who aren't happy to have any competition. Years later, Marcus (CURTIS "50 CENT" JACKSON) is still in the business, running with his crew that consists of Keryl (OMAR BENSON MILLER), Justice (TORY KITTLES) and Antwan (ASHLEY WALTERS), and dealing drugs for Majestic (ADEWALE AKINNUOYE-AGBAJE) who's just introduced them to the lucrative crystal meth market. With only hand-me downs to wear, Marcus takes to the only world he knows, dealing drugs. When she's murdered, he ends up living with his grandparents (VIOLA DAVIS and SULLIVAN WALKER) and their large, extended family where there's little room for the orphan. PLOT: In a rough, 1970s era Bronx neighborhood, Marcus (MARC JOHN JEFFERIES) is a young kid who doesn't know who fathered him with his drug-dealer mom Katrina (SERENA REEDER).
