It's like the "High School Musical" (2006) for hip-hop. Other than that it's pretty formulaic of a "be yourself" and "don't be afraid to go for your dream" movie. The soundtrack boasts it's own success peaking at #1 on Billboard's top rap albums and top kids albums.

This who enjoy hip-hop-that is teen hip-hop-will enjoy this movie more as large segments are devoted to the numbers. More than anything this movie is about the soundtrack. The plot is a little thicker with the fact the Roxy grew up with the two boys as part of Cyrus' father's church congregation, a man who opposes rap as a sinful form of music. They tell Roxie Cyrus is his DJ so that Cyrus can be part of the journey and so that he is near Kris at all times.
The two concoct outlandish plans to keep up the charade. Kris is so excited about the opportunity to work with Roxie, the promoter of the competition, Cyrus goes along with the mistake. When Cyrus includes a photo of the both of them together with his submission to a songwriting competition under the pseudonym Truth, when he wins it's assumed Kris is Truth. In "Let it Shine" Cyrus has all the talent of a would-be rap artist, whereas his best friend Kris doesn't have the talent, but has the perfect look. It is the classic case of two friends where one friend helps another friend out by letting the other take credit of their work or talent. Its hokey plot is nothing that hasn't been done before in many episodes of various sitcoms.

Roxy then goes to church and hugs Cyrus and they become a couple. Kris eventually tells Roxy that Cyrus is a good person and only pretended he wasn't "Truth" for Kris, and they didn't try to hurt Roxy he also says Cyrus is real and that's who she needs to be with. However, after learning Cyrus is "Truth", Roxy is angry she was played, so angry that she slaps him and tells him to stay out of her life. Eventually, Cyrus reveals he is "Truth" and wins the grand slam finals, beating Da Bling while revealing to the whole audience that Da Bling wasn't rich like everyone thought, since he saw him riding a taxi cab home. All the while, Cyrus must convince his preacher father that hip-hop music can have a positive messageĬyrus and Roxy get to know each other and Roxy says she can talk to him better than she can talk to Kris. Now, it's up to the true poet to overcome self-doubt, seize the opportunity to reveal his authentic self and pursue his dreams.
Lacking the confidence to step forward, Cyrus stands by while Kris not only takes credit for the lyrics but ultimately begins to win Roxanne's heart too. Cyrus, who writes music under the name "Truth," crafts a heartfelt and contest-winning rhyme about Roxie but to his dismay, his work is mistakenly attributed to Kris. The story unfolds in Atlanta, Georgia, as Cyrus DeBarge and his best friend Kris McDuffy reunite with their childhood friend, teenage singing sensation Roxanne "Roxie" Andrews, whose music label is sponsoring a songwriting contest at a teen club.
