Ms. Walker,

the world ain't ready for you. Ms. Walker.

I say we celebrate to Blackstone Records next rising star.

Or you know, I could take this mix tape

down to Bad Boy or Def Jam, right.

Oh man. What, you kidding me?

I'd be happy with either one of them.

Yo, the shit that we doing,

it's gonna start a bidding war.

Believe that.

Cheers to you ma.

Cheers.

You think so Von?

You really think that?

I know a star when I see one.

Thanks man.

I couldn't have done none of this without you Von.

I can't thank you enough

for taking a chance on an independent, you know,

artist from Cali like me.

Yeah, you Cali, I forgot.

Yeah.

Yeah, what part again?

Man, south central LA.

East side baby for sure.

Yeah.

You crypt walking and stuff, huh?

East side baby for sure.

Hey, yeah.

Got a hit Von.

You know, I think I know a way you can thank me.

So where we gonna celebrate?

Nowhere.

We ain't going nowhere.

Everything we need to have a good time is right here.

Yeah.

Right here.

I gotta go outside.

I need some fresh air, man.

I ain't feeling right.

Hold on.

What's the rush?

I need to go.

- Really? - I need to-

No, no.

See, earlier you was talking about oh Von,

I can't thank you enough, right.

You know, I think it's time to get my appreciation.

And you know what? This studio time ain't cheap.

I need to sit down.

Hey, ain't no big label gonna sign you

without a big co-sign from me.

You heard?

You're tripping and you're scaring me.

Hey.

Man, what are you doing?

This will be a lot easier

if you don't resist.

You understand?

- Get off of me. - Don't resist.

Get off of me.

What are you doing?

You fucking made me hurt my hand bitch.

Take this shit.

Did you know that the human voice

is the only pure instrument,

that it has notes no other instrument has.

It's like being between the keys of a piano.

The notes are there.

You can sing them,

but they can't be found on any instrument.

That's like me.

I live in between this.

I live in both worlds.

The black and white.

And to celebrate New York's

very own music mogul, Jesse Blackstone home from rehab

due to the tragic death

of his iconic father Robert Blackstone.

I'm right here mom.

Hi baby.

Come on in.

Hey, where's the mic Aretha gay pops

after she won the Grammy?

Where the old sheet music from Luther?

Where's his desk and chair?

Jesse Blackstone,

son of legendary music icon Robert Blackstone

checked out of rehab after a three month stay.

The sudden death of Jesse's father last year

sparked the unfortunate public spiral,

culminating with him crashing his Lamborghini

while intoxicated.

He was also charged with the illegal possession

of cocaine and ketamine at the scene of the crime,

which he's still on probation for.

So what's the point of this D?

Just get to it.

You want me to shine your shoes now?

Huh?

You want me to beg for your forgiveness?

I want you to respect what I've done

for this family's legacy while you were gone.

And then I want you to appreciate this olive branch

that I'm about to give you right now.

Which is?

I need you in the trenches, doing what you do best.

All right.

With that being said,

you wanna see your first project?

What you got?

Check it out.

Now she's the next one up.

She hadn't even dropped an album yet

and already got a hundred million views.

Huh, what do you think?

Nah, I ain't touching that.

He'd be turning in his grave if we signed her.

Nope.

Well, it's too late.

I call the shots now J.

Look man, you're stuck in the past.

You need to come on up to the future.

Ready to go home player?

If I have to say, Beyonce.

Or maybe Aretha Franklin.

Okay, I get it.

Those three are icons for sure.

Respectfully though,

I can't produce soul sucking music.

And you shouldn't.

Ain't planning on it.

What are you gonna do next?

I don't know.

Lay low.

You know, if it wasn't for you and your dad did for me,

I would've left Darin when he took over.

But Blackstone is the closest thing I have to family.

Your father signed my band and gave me a job

when nobody else would man.

I owe him my life.

I mean, you are family.

Even if you did leave, nothing would change that.

As a matter of fact, you can drive for me if you want.

Yeah.

Done, I work for you now?

I'm your driver?

Yeah.

I'd do anything.

What are you gonna tell Darin?

Ah hey kid, that's on you kid.

You know what?

Blame it on me.

Tell 'em 'cause I got the DUI

I need a full-time driver, huh?

That's smart.

Good thinking.

Excuse me.

Nyna Walker.

I'd like to introduce myself.

I'm sorry, I don't know who you are.

Wait, who are you?

Can I please just get a minute of your time?

We gotta get going, I'm sorry.

Listen, listen.

Mom, wait.

My name is Jesse,

Jesse Blackstone.

My father founded Blackstone Records.

I would tell you to search my name online,

but now is kind of a bad time.

Wait, that sounded weird.

Come on Lizzy.

Let's,

let's go.

Wait please.

Mom, wait.

Just give me a chance to explain myself.

Nyna, I think you're the most talented singer

I've ever heard in my life.

Okay.

I've been in this game since the day I was born.

I've been blessed to work

with some of the biggest names in the game.

And I'm telling you right now,

don't none of them compare to you.

Look, I saw you singing the other day in the subway.

And to be honest, I haven't been able

to stop thinking about your voice ever since.

I've never believed in anything more than I believe in you.

Your talent deserves to be heard by the world.

And I want to be the person that helps them hear you.

And rumor has it,

there's a great diner right down the park.

What do you say?

Let's go.

Let's go, mom.

Come on.

Lizzy.

Let's go.

It's all right.

Lizzy, so your name's Lizzy, huh?

Yep.

Thank you.

You did all of this?

You weren't playing when you said

you grew up privileged, huh?

Damn.

That's what money does, right?

We love money.

Ice cream and money.

This kid knows what's important.

She does.

Hi.

That's my friend from school.

I'm gonna be a safari guide when I grow up.

Wow, Lizzy.

That's impressive.

So yeah, after losing my father in that car crash,

put everything in perspective.

It revealed some things too.

Like what?

Well since I became a pariah

and went off the grid for six months,

my brother was able to maneuver his way

to become the president of Blackstone.

He's completely reshaped the way we run the label.

Forcing me to produce artists, whack artists

that got viral moments, you know?

But the thing is, they don't have any talent.

It's the exact opposite of what my pop stood for.

So where's your mother?

Is she steal in the picture or?

We lost mom to cancer a few years back.

Okay, so with your brother running the show,

how do you see me fitting in?

To be honest with you, I don't.

You know, I tried pushing you on my brother Darin,

and he just didn't want any parts.

But look, don't take it personal.

The guy has zero taste.

Trust me.

So why'd you say you can do all these magical things then?

Obviously I'm not Blackstone material anymore.

So.

Look, to be honest, we don't need Blackstone records.

Technically I got all the relationships

and resources we need.

Plus the old days of record deals and big companies,

those days are obsolete, dead and gone.

I say we go the independent route,

like a Frank Ocean or Chance the Rapper.

That way we don't have to give away your music

and we can keep your masters.

Hell yeah, I feel that.

Mom.

Hmm?

I have to go in the bathroom.

Just in a minute baby, okay.

Okay.

So just let me understand.

Do you still work for Blackstone?

How does it work?

I mean, I do, but I don't.

It's like I didn't quit.

There's no need for that.

'Cause I'm gonna always have my stake in the ownership.

I just don't do the day-to-day dealings.

I'm gonna just let Darin think whatever he wants to think.

Fair enough.

So what's up?

Ready to get to work?

I mean, I gotta figure out when we can meet.

I have my bottle service job tonight and tomorrow.

So maybe the following week.

Stop, stop, stop, stop.

From now on, you are a full time musician.

I'm gonna take care of all your expenses, all right?

You don't even gotta worry about it

until you don't need it.

Jesse, I appreciate what you saying,

but I got bills bro, and a daughter.

Look, let me help you.

Allowing me to help you will help me.

Look, I'm not in the best position,

but what we can do together will put us both on top.

Just give me a chance.

I'm not gonna let you down.

Trust me.

I don't know what to say.

There's nothing to be said.

Jesse, you better not be fucking with me.

My life ain't no game.

All right.

I swear on my father's grave.

I got you.

No matter what.

Okay, screw it.

Let's make some music.

You just tell your manager

that they gonna need a new bottle girl.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Yeah, fry cheers.

Let's get to it.

♪ If you out here running it,

♪ let me see you strap them shoes up ♪

♪ Get your water bottles

♪ And get out here

♪ Let's get it double time

That was straight fire.

You killed that one Rizzy.

I think we gotta winner on our hands.

So fresc, what do you think about that one B?

Super fire.

Yeah son.

Yeah.

We about to get paid baby.

Gang, gang, gang, gang.

Let's get paid.

Let's get paid.

Huh?

♪ I can be your everything, your desire ♪

All the way to the top.

All the way to the top.

Let's go.

Yeah baby.

So this is it.

Whoa, you live here?

I do.

Vito.

Hey you.

How you doing?

Doing good.

Feeling good.

God bless.

Am I in the presence of greatness right now?

Jesse showed me the video of you singing

like 200 times in the subway.

It might be 3000 times.

You know what I mean?

Exactly.

That's more like it.

But he's got an ear like his father.

Thank you.

And that's,

it's an honor to meet you.

It's a pleasure to meet you too Vito.

And what's your name?

Lizzy.

Hi Lizzy, I'm Vito.

Nice to meet you.

And what's the giraffe's name?

Griffin.

Griffin.

Forget about it.

Jesse?

Yeah.

Can I swing?

Forget about it.

Yeah, you can go on the swing.

It's made for you.

Yeah right.

Finally can put this thing in use.

Griffin, be careful.

Jesse, swing me.

You ready?

Yes.

We're gonna do it on the count of 10.

One, two, 10.

Woa.

All right, you good?

You gotta swing your feet up.

There you go.

All right, studio's right this way.

There you go.

She's bossy Vito.

I got it, don't worry about it.

She'll be good with me.

Thank you.

You okay?

Look who it is.

Nyna, this is our A one engineer, Fresco.

The kid is a genius.

You can hum any sound and this guy right here

will turn it into a whole damn symphony

right here with our home system.

Man Jesse, this is hella legit.

It's beautiful in here.

Thank you.

I put it together during Covid

so we could have a place to record

while we was on lockdown.

Word.

Nice.

Oh, real quick, sit down.

All right.

Thank you.

Right here.

Come through.

All right, check it out.

So me and Fresco were talking earlier.

Okay.

We both think pulling together a demo mix tape

about eight songs is gonna be the best move.

All right.

All right.

So after that,

I think we can just let it catch fire.

All right.

Makes sense.

I could dig it.

= All right, cool.

So check it out.

We'll record the performance, make it look dope.

You can put all your information on it.

And we post it so everybody can find your music.

Son, it's like our own version of Tiny Desk.

- You know what I'm saying? - Exactly.

Yeah.

That's how I see.

All right, check this.

It's like part one of a mix tape series, you heard.

We get all like abstract and creative with it, right.

Out of this world.

Yeah.

But, however you see it though.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, really that.

Definitely.

So, hmm.

I really love what Frank Ocean did with Nostalgia, Ultra.

Simple concept, right.

Word.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

Thinking we can just like give a whole feeling

of scanning through radio stations,

intercepting music and memories.

Yeah.

By using random pieces of music.

Like mixing it with like what they did

with the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,

raw, authentic.

Right?

Absolutely.

This whole thing can be an exploration.

Most important thing is it's gotta be about you.

'Cause this is gonna be an introduction to the world.

Word.

I'm ready for my voice to be heard.

Hell yeah.

So how you wanna get started?

So I did this song called Life's Too Short a while ago

when I was like in a dark place.

Then I had Lizzy and I just stopped writing.

But now this song has a whole different meaning.

So I think we can rock with that.

All right.

Let's set her up on the mic.

Let's go.

All right.

Now, feeling like I can hum the orchestral parts

that I heard and then I can do some scratch vocals

and we can build from there.

Okay.

- All right. - Word.

That's cool.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Word.

Cool.

You all right, you cool?

Wanna go in the booth?

Let's go.

I'd rather be out in the open

if that's okay with y'all.

Done.

I'll set the mic up right now.

All right.

Check.

All right, no problem.

It's just right here.

We set you up right here.

All right.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

I'm good.

Okay.

I'm good.

Get up and do your thing.

Word.

This feels like home.

♪ It's a great big world

♪ You're on the other side

♪ And it all can be harder

♪ In the twinkle of an eye

♪ Life is too short

♪ You gotta spend it with the ones you love ♪

Her name is Nyna.

I don't give a damn what her name is Jesse.

Man you went behind my back man.

Look he heard her sing and he wanted her on a song.

What was I supposed to do, say no?

Nah man.

You knew what you was doing

when you took her to meet him at the studio man.

I ain't stupid man.

Hey man, what's this really about dog?

Is it about the family business?

Is it about me, you, and pops?

Or is it the fact that I know more about music

than you and everybody knows it?

Man, fuck you.

Fuck you.

Because no, it's not about that

because that ain't true.

Man we got a brand to maintain Jesse and she ain't it.

Nah dog.

Nah, we got a legacy label to build, not a brand.

Look, pops made iconic music with legendary voices

and Nyna Walker, she's the next singer to follow in line.

Listen man, I'm gonna be as real with you

as I can get.

That legacy shit B, it's dead.

It's dead Jesse.

And singing,

man kids they singing to some old people music Jesse.

If you don't like Nyna, fine.

I can't fight you on that.

But Trigga does.

Yo look, she better knock this shit out of the park.

If she don't, I never want to hear her name mentioned again.

You got it.

Matter of fact.

Man say less.

Ooh.

Cut that.

Nyna, glad you could make it.

Of course.

Jesse.

What up Trig.

Hey where Von at?

Oh man, he had to step out right quick

for a meeting with Darin or something.

He should be back soon though.

Aw, so sad.

Thanks for tuning into my live.

And remember, it's a lifestyle

and it's not for everybody.

Doc, I need your help.

It's my girl Nyna.

She had an episode.

Okay Jesse, calm down.

What happened?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I walked in, she was on the ground.

She fainted.

She might have took something.

I don't know.

Doc, please.

We need you right now.

Okay, bring her in right now.

All right.

All right, thank you.

Thank you.

There we are.

You've been through a lot in your life Nyna.

But what you are describing to me is a classic case of PTSD.

Here, sit down for a second.

Okay.

Hm.

Listen, the first step in healing

is knowing what your trigger points are.

I let everybody down.

Everybody.

Everyone.

You let absolutely no one down.

You have no idea how strong you are.

And you have so many incredible people who care for you.

How you doing?

Hey.

Doctor.

Thank you.

Good to see you Jesse.

Thank you.

How you feeling?

I'm good.

All right, bet.

Hi Vito.

Hey Vita, you mind helping Doc and Nyna

So, did you watch that video?

I didn't need to.

But on the upside of things, finally went viral.

I guess you could say I'm Blackstone material now, huh?

Oh man.

Well look, as the older days goes,

the only thing worse than being talked about

is not being talked about at all.

Uh oh.

I was so close Jesse.

And I just fucked it all up.

I'm so sorry Jesse.

I'm sorry.

Nah, don't apologize.

That was a toxic environment.

I should have paid more attention, been more aware.

Just had any extra people leave the studio.

But look, God gave you an unbelievable gift.

So you telling me you just going to quit

after one bump in a road?

Because we still got a fire mix tape to drop.

I told you I'm not going nowhere, no matter what.

So what we gonna do

is take these lemons and make us some fire lemonade.

You just watch.

I want you to make me a special menu.

What you want?

I want lemonade and a butter roll.

I think I could work that out just for you Lizzy.

Yes.

Let's get out of here.

Sugar Monster.

- Sugar monster. - I'm not a sugar monster.

It's yummy food, okay.

- Listen. - You are a sugar monster.

Me personally, I like butter rolls

with extra butter.

You're the boss.

You crazy.

Just one piece of candy.

Mommy, mommy.

Yes, Lizzy baby.

Your song's playing on the radio.

Who's playing my song on the radio?

Oh my God.

Is that?

That's it.

You did it.

You made it.

Oh my God.

We made it.

How did they get that?

♪ Can we start over

♪ Redo it

This new track by Harlem's own Trigga,

featuring the Subway Queen Nyna Walker is pure fire.

By way of a dear friend of mine,

Mr. Jesse Blackstone, we got Nyna Walker in the building.

It's an honor to be here.

Now, the song you got with Trigga

has been tearing up the charts, okay.

Everybody's playing, the Bronx, Queens, uptown, Brooklyn.

Crazy.

Like Staten, everybody's playing this song.

Casing the barbershops.

It's going crazy.

Shout out to Trigga.

Yeah.

But we can't ignore, you know the elephant in the room.

I saw your breakdown online.

It's unfortunate for somebody to record something like that.

But you know, salute to you

for getting through a tough time.

Thank you.

Yeah.

I mean that video was unfortunate,

but for me, setbacks like that ain't nothing new.

I'm a survivor in this world.

You know, when I was a little kid

full of hopes and dreams,

this industry ate me up and spit me out.

You know, I was used and abused by people in power

and told I wasn't good enough

because of my beautiful dark melanin.

You know what I'm talking about?

I know what you're saying.

So the reason why I came from outta nowhere

is because for the last 15 years I was a ghost,

a shell of my former self.

But this last year, my God,

he put a lot of good people in my life.

My daughter is my reason.

Jesse Blackstone, angel.

And they reminded me of just how strong I am.

So I'm blessed.

Well, you know, we got your back sis.

Thank you.

And everybody's rooting for you.

From LA to NY.

Like everybody's-

I feel it.

The whole tri-state is rooting for you.

So what's next?

Oh man, I got a mix tape out.

Talk about it.

Eight tracks in total, ya know.

Titled The Life and Rhymes of Nyna Walker.

And if you listening right now,

it's available on all music platforms.

Right now you can get it.

Go get that.

Now Jesse told me we gonna be playing

something off the mix tape or-

Yeah.

Okay.

But you know, before we do that,

you gotta hit me with that freestyle beef for sure.

You came with bars?

For sure.

Oh yeah, we gotta.

Let's do that.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Back up, back up, baby.

Hold up.

Yo, what the fuck Darin?

Hey, hey, hey, watch your mouth around the little one.

Jesse, what's going on?

It's simple.

This is a Blackstone event.

Since you're not employed

and you're not signed,

none of y'all are allowed in.

See you later.

Hey, that's not fair.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Are you really gonna pull this right now D?

Really?

Where Trigga at man?

Peace.

You know we was coming to do the-

Peace.

I'll see you guys later.

Yo, we need you.

Got you.

You could ashamed of yourself man.

I know who you are.

Yeah.

See ya.

Why you smiling?

It's over.

They're not letting us in.

Come on girl, it's all good.

Come on Lizzy.

Y'all.

Y'all came here to see Nyna Walker before tonight,

didn't you?

Yeah.

Well, this is the plan.

This event is dead.

Since Blackstone want to be a bunch of haters

and they don't want to let us in.

We're gonna move this party down the crown,

a few blocks away and Nyna Walker's gonna sing.

We're gonna let her sing.

Let her sing.

Let her sing.

Let her sing.

Let her sing.

Let her sing.

Let her sing.

Let her sing.

Let her sing.
