(2) YA Facing permanent expulsion, Ray finds salvation in the form of an alternative school that will allow him to focus on the only thing he cares about: music. Ray and his badass friends become stars on the East London hip-hop circuit, an unlikely but glamorous turn of events with its own challenges. Despite the soapy melodrama, the story is swift-moving and engaging.
