The American Dream
42min -
The Psy 4 de la Rime, the first group Soprano has formed with his cousins, go in the studio with Akhenaton. The legendary leader of the rap group IAM has taken them under his wing to release a debut album. Soprano works hard all day but, each night, he joins his best friends Mateo, Djamali and Mej, to watch music videos and discuss their future. Mej, the eldest of the group, fills their heads with dreams of America. A difficult childhood obliged him to work hard as a plumber while his friends were still in school. But thanks to those efforts, he was able to pay for a trip to New York. Once there, he discovered an entire culture and came back transformed. In America, their idol Jay-Z, from the ghetto, has built his own music empire. “So, why shouldn’t we?” The four friends decide to create their own structure. With CDs put together in Mej’s bedroom, compilations sold from hand to hand… a business is born.
