In the TV movie The Breaks, three aspiring hip-hop artists — Nikki Jones, David Aaron, and DeeVee — are trying to break into the hip-hop industry in 1990s New York City. Nikki (Afton Williamson) gave up a scholarship to law school in order to take an internship at record label Fouray Entertainment. Her boyfriend David is the son of Juggy, a mover-and-a-shaker in the biz, but David doesn’t want nepotism to play a part of his career. And producer Deevee (Tristan Wilds) is out to find the next big rapper. The movie is based on Dan Charnas’ 2011 book The Big Payback.
