Directed and written by Bakeeba Ruffin, who is also known as rapper Tef Kaluminati or Cinematic Ref, has also made Savage Genesis and The Day After 19. He also appears as a character named Teflon in this, the lead character, a gangster from a small town who only has one friend named Prince (Joshua Bullock).

Shot in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, as well as Raleigh, Princeville, Whitakers and outside a Marriott in Tampa, Florida, this is about the twists and turns of life on the streets and the fact that whatever you’ve done in the past is never really over and can never be erased.

All movies are miracles and it’s incredible that this movie has the opportunity to be seen on streaming platforms. A lot of it looks to be shot like Curb Your Enthusiasm and the actors are improv reading their lines. Sometimes, that makes it seem like simple conversations go forever. That said, the end of the movie has a huge gun battle that seems like it was so much fun to shoot, even if the computer-added flashes take away from it. I assume this was shot with no permits and guerilla style, which is pretty great.

This feels pretty authentic to me, but hey, I’m a white kid from a small town in Pennsylvania, so what do I know? I was entertained.
