It features an ensemble cast of Tyler James Williams, Coco Jones, Trevor Jackson and Brandon Mychal Smith.
The film follows a shy, talented rapper and musician who pens romantic hip hop verses only to stand idly by as they're delivered to the girl of his dreams by his best friend, in a retelling of Edmond Rostand's 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac.
[1] In Atlanta, 15-year-old Cyrus DeBarge is a talented musician and choir director who writes rap lyrics under the alias "Truth" because of his father Pastor Jacob's disapproval of hip-hop and his shy demeanor compared to his more outgoing best friend Kris McDuffy.
Unbeknownst to Jacob, Cyrus secretly works as a busboy at a club, "Off the Street", where the music label of their childhood friend, teenage singing sensation Roxie Andrews, is sponsoring a songwriting contest.
His wife Gail persuades Jacob to apologize to Roxie at the club, where he catches his son working and learns that Cyrus writes rap lyrics.
Cyrus wins the trophy by revealing to the audience that Bling is a fraud, having seen him the previous week working his day job as a taxi driver.
In a September 2020 video posted to YouTube, Coco Jones revealed a sequel film had been written but was eventually scrapped.
