Previously on raising kanan...

'Nique gonna be
running shit out here.

This motherfucker?

Now, you can either
be his lieutenant,

or you can find other work.

Fuck this, and fuck y'all.

Okay.

You jukebox, right?

Who the fuck are you?

You ain't makin' it
to rehearsal today.

Your punk-ass friends
went home with some lumps.

They ain't shit.

And neither are you.

I got this bookie in corona.

He's skimming off the top.

Just ring his bell,
see who's home.

I call the shots while
your step in' fetch it-ass

run errands, you mother

an "excuse me" would be nice.

There was some
fucked-up looking dude

comin' out the building today.

His face was all
scarred and scary.

I think you should
get a new apartment.

First time?

You want to come inside?

I got a hip-hop imprint.

I want you to run it.

You only got one artist
that got that realness, b-rilla.

B-rilla is real, all right...
a real pain in my ass.

Yo, you told me you was gonna
be postin' up at your cousin's.

That ain't gonna
work out after all.

I'm raising your prices 20%.

You can't just drop a
increase on me like that.

I can, and I just did.

Talk to your friend
from Baltimore.

Traymont still come to
the city to re-up with you?

Always.

I still need you, andré.

Yes, you do.

So you fucking her?

You can be damn sure
she fuckin' you, nigga.

Wait, wait, wait.

We're very, very sorry.

Please, no!

Let me see them
fuckin' hands, nigga.

Why we here?

I got cancer.

Doctors found it in my kidney.

Tried chemo.

Couldn't stop it from spreading.

It's terminal.

Please, sit down, Raquel.

Fuck this.

Ha ha. That's right.

Nothing change a motherfucker

like looking death in the face.

Even when you look up,

cheat that shit
before it cheat you,

you never gonna be the same.

Never gonna
remember what it feel like

to not have that shit creepin'
up over your shoulder.

Once death touch you,
that hand always there.

Don't never leave.

But you can't let
that shit shake you,

because the nigga
who's scared of dying

don't know how to live.

Who tell they
kids that they dyin'

over collard Greens
and cornbread?

Got us all together so you
could have your moment.

All eyes on you.

Don't matter how we
feel about it, though, right?

'Cause our feelings don't
never mean shit to you.

I wasn't trying to hurt
nobody's feelings, Raquel.

Just thought it was
time you all know.

How long you been
keeping this from us?

That don't matter.

All that matter is, I'm dyin'.

That's what I need you to know.

You quitting, just like
you did when daddy died.

Throwing up your hands,
saying nothing can be done,

and tossing that
shit in our laps

for us to figure it out.

Your father killed himself.

All of a sudden, I'm a
widow with three babies.

I was scared.

I didn't know what I was doing.

I didn't know what
needed to be done.

Daddy was gone.
We needed a mother.

You blamed me for
what he did, still do.

All I could do was
make it through the day.

Sometimes I
couldn't even do that.

Who you think handled
shit on them days?

Hell, who am I kidding?
I handle shit every day.

Ask Marvin, he'll tell you
he handled everything.

Or talk to Lou, he'll
say he was all alone.

We all got our own
version of what happened.

Then what's yours?

'Cause I want to know.

I wasn't perfect, Raquel.

Perfect?

Who the fuck asked for perfect?

We just wanted a mother
who cared about us

as much as she did herself.

If I didn't care about
me, no one else would.

Who was gonna care
about me, Raquel, you?

I'm not sayin' I don't
deserve some of this.

I wasn't a great wife.

Most days, I wasn't
much of a mother.

But when I tried to do
better, it was too late.

Y'all had washed
your hands of me.

You know what that feel like?

When you dyin', all
you got is time to think.

You know what I
think about most days?

I'm gonna be gone, and
nobody even gonna miss me.

I can't do this
with you right now.

You can't ever do it.

You want forgiveness,
and I can't give that to you.

Just... just tell me
what you want, Marvin.

I'm getting' what
I want right now.

Anything, man... money,
product, whatever.

Just tell me, man.

Yo, we still makin'
up for the hit.

Better not catch none of
them bike niggas over there

bullshitting in that stoop.

They either droppin' off
cash or they pickin' up product.

That's it.

Gotta keep this
shit movin', man.

Folks is workin' around
the clock right now.

Got up out that dusty-ass
apartment just in time.

No, "just in time"
would have been

if we bounced right
after I walked in

on the nigga who robbed me.

You gotta keep business
out of here, kanan.

O-cee make his money
drops to you, and that's it.

That was the whole
point of you moving.

This a home.

I got you.

It's her.

It's gonna be okay.

She hates me, kanan.

What's up?

This is nice.

Me and Krystal gonna
make it even better.

You out?

I have some business.

I thought we was kickin' it.

I thought you two
could catch up.

You know, harmonize and shit.

Well, I'll roll through
when you got time.

Nah.

Krys, you wanna
give her the tour?

Yeah, let me show you, juke.

Come on. Come on, Marvin.

Please, please.

Not many motherfuckers
as lucky as you, traymont.

Chamber keep comin' up empty.

How many more rounds
you got in you, traymont?

I'll give y'all anything.

You just need to fucking
tell me what you want.

What I want

is to even the score, nigga.

But I'll settle
for you tellin' me

who's supplyin' your horse.

You just want my heroin connect?

Why the fuck you
didn't just ask?

Why we got to go
through all this?

Because you deserve it.

Okay. All right. I'll give
you the fuckin' name.

I know, nigga.

We just having fun.

Punk-ass motherfucker
damn near shit hisself.

Thought you Baltimore
niggas had more heart.

Now give me the fuckin'
name, or I'ma load this shit up.

It's nice.

I like it.

Definitely better
than that other spot.

I'm gonna go, though,
let you do your thing.

I'm sorry, juke,

for all that shit that went
down when we was in butt a.

You had your peoples
jump me, Krystal.

They tried to fucking cut me.

But you fucked them
weak-ass bitches up.

Okay, wait, I know I was wrong.

It ain't funny.

That shit was mad
ill, and I am sorry.

I had some fucked-up
shit goin' on at home, juke.

I needed a way out,
and butt a was it for me.

It was all I had.

So... now kanan's your way out?

It ain't even like that.

I love kanan.

And kanan loves you,

more than he ever gonna
love me or anybody else.

I want you and
me to be cool, juke.

Because if you matter
to him, you matter to me.

And I know it sounds fucked up

I want us to be cool
'cause of my man.

And I don't ever really expect
you to get past what I did.

I'm not sure I would.

But I'm just asking for
us to be cool for kanan.

Maybe we can build from there.

Yeah, maybe.

New sound for rilla.

I like it.

Who are you?

Imani okoye, new
product manager for b-rilla.

Lowell just slid
me over to hip-hop.

Been working in pop
the last few years.

Hey, relax, man.

Come take a break.

What does hip-hop
got to do with pop?

Good music is good music.

And pretty soon,
hip-hop's gonna be pop.

I sure as hell hope not.

I'm not here to step on
any toes, just support.

Support what?

You.

I was just telling
Lou, I'm Imani okoye.

I'm gonna be working with
you to amplify and manage

your presence and
position in the marketplace.

Fuck all that mean?

I'm gonna help you sell records.

B-rilla don't got no
records to sell yet.

That's why we in here recordin'.

At least we were
until you stepped in.

And I'm not here to
get in the way of that.

Lowell told me

that the two of you
were in the studio today,

and I just wanted to stop
by and introduce myself.

Introduction done.

And we got to get back to work.

Do your thing.

I'll be in touch soon.

Good meeting you both.

Likewise.

What you think?

She's talking about givin'
you presence and positioning

in the fuckin' marketplace.

Don't nobody give you that shit.

You got to take it.

Hell yeah.

Now get back in the booth.

That's the only
position you need to be

thinkin' about right now.

Get the fuck out of here.

I've seen her around before
with some of the other acts.

She is actually
kind of a big deal.

Yeah?

I'm kind of a big deal too.

Bump that track.

Take care.

Y'all really do fuck
with everybody?

We fuck with them so
they don't fuck with us.

Sit down.

You're a little light.

Drop spot got hit.

You don't keep reserves?

'Cause your losses ain't
our losses, young buck.

Our dividends stay the same

no matter how you get taxed.

How much they take you for?

Enough.

This is a variable
business, kanan.

You can't predict
much except for trouble.

Trouble is a constant.

And you always got
to be prepared for that.

Heads think you vulnerable now.

You need to make
'em think different.

Raq get hit, too?

Ask her.

He asked you.

It's like you said,
trouble everywhere.

I think it's time I show my face

up in this motherfucker, man,

let niggas know the king
is back to take his crown.

Know what I'm sayin'?

This nigga the
invisible fuckin' man,

you tryin' to give
all that shit up.

You see me, nigga. I see me.

And all I see is
me doin' nothin'

while raq out here takin'
my fuckin' money, man.

Shit, if niggas
thought I was dead,

I'd be living life like I
ain't never lived it before.

Yo, early, it's Marvin.

Where you at?

Yo, you want to show
your face, you can do it now.

On the throne, nigga.

Be right out.

A'ight, I'ma stay dead
another minute, then.

Get the fuck out of here.

You wash your hands?

From what?

You said you was takin' a shit.

Right.

No doubt.

I scrubbed them shits
like I'm going into surgery.

Yo, you still takin'
book around the way?

Yes, sir.

Where you tryin'
to put your money?

I'm givin' seven tonight
on Knicks and celtics.

So check it out.

I'm grateful for you
connecting me with your aunt

on that acs shit.

And to show my appreciation,

I might have an
opportunity for you

doing that work up in corona.

Fuckin' with some
heavy hitters, though.

Yo, that's a good look, brother.

Really appreciate it.

You'll be givin' me a
piece of your piece.

Not too tough, just
enough to remind us that

that we're friends.

Okay.

Friendship that need reminding
is the best kind of friendship.

Only kind that matters.

We'll let the money slide.

Just this once.

But you got to understand
that how people see you now

is how they're gonna
see you forever.

How you want people
to see you, kanan?

I want 'em to see me as me.

Not who I'm next to,
not who my mother is,

not my father, my
uncles, none of that.

I want me to be about me.

Quân been asking after you.

Want to put a face to the name.

Now, if you're interested,

we could make
that parlay happen.

That sound a'ight.

The shit we do, it's
built on relationships.

It's all about who you know.

And if you want people
to see you as you,

you got to let them
know who you are.

'Cause as long as
you wrapped up in raq,

you gonna always be tied to her.

You hearing what
we saying, kanan?

Does it resonate for you, son?

It resonate.

I think you have an admirer.

I'm Jackie.

Laverne.

Can I buy you a drink, Laverne?

I'm-I'm good, but thanks.

All right, if you say so.

- What?
- Aww.

You remind me of me when
I first started coming here.

All of this, it can be
a lot in the beginning.

But after a while, you
get to know everyone.

It kind of starts
to feel like home,

like some weird
version of family.

Shit, this ain't
nothing like my family.

Come to think of it,
it's not like mine either.

My family sucks.

What the fuck, man?

I heard you was 6 feet under.

How they say it?

Rumors of my death have been
greatly exaggerated, my nigga.

Fuck you want, man?

You already took my business.

I ain't got shit else to take.

Nigga, that was raq, not me.

I know how you move.

I know who you are, man.

I like that you out here in
new jerz, away from all that

south side Jamaica,
queens bullshit.

What that got to
do with anything?

It ain't like me and you
even done business before.

Raq killed both of us, my nigga.

I just figured you want
to live again like me.

If you about yours,

hear a nigga out
for a hot minute.

Bye

bye, honey. Have fun.

You hungry? There's
a diner up the block.

Hash browns is stupid.

I don't pass on
potatoes in any form.

I-I think it's over here.

Actually, what about pizza?

There's a place
a few streets over.

They got a great slice.

Yeah, but-but these
hash browns... Mara.

Is that guy creepin'?

Ignore him.

Wait, you know him?

He's my husband, technically.

You're married?

- Mara!
- Run!

Is that your new whore?

Humiliating me.

- Aaron, stop.
- You're hurting me.

You hurt me! I'll kill you!

My whole network
is already set up,

and we under the radar.

Nobody seeing 'cause
there ain't nothin' to look at.

Discretion is always good.

How much would you want?

More than your
friend traymont, I hope.

His needs are small.

I can offer a better
price for bulk.

I'ma be clear with you, ishaq.

I'm not looking to be supplied.

I'm looking to be the supply.

I want a direct link. Wholesale.

My product, my rules.

That's a very different
kind of arrangement.

And I'm lookin' to be in a
different kind of business.

Can't have nobody between
us and the dope no more.

But we're gonna make sure

that you're taken
care of real good.

Come back tomorrow,
same time, alone.

Imani says you were dismissive

when she came by the studio.

That isn't what I said.

I said that Lou and
rilla were distracted

and didn't really have
time to talk to me.

Dismissive, distracted.

You say "tomato."
I say "to-mah-to."

And just so you know, I
didn't go running to lowell.

He called me, asked
me how it went,

and I told him.

Well, lowell's right, though.

I was dismissive.

I am dismissive.

I don't need her help.

I stand corrected then.

You brought me in
here to run this whole shit

the way I want to run it.

Whole shit means
everything from a&r

to production to marketing

to the color of
the fucking carpet.

I know what I'm doing, lowell.

I can do it all.

You can do everything.

But you can't do
everything well, Lou.

Teamwork is the difference
between good and great,

and we are aiming for greatness.

You and Imani
will work together.

Look, you're both brilliant,

so you already
have that in common.

I need you two on the same page.

You two get together tonight.

Talk, laugh, cry, figure it out.

Like I said, we're
all on the same team.

So let's play ball.

My friend Marvin says that,

you might be a good candidate

to run my sporting
interests in corona.

He says you've
got a, track record

in this particular field.

I fuck with all kind of fields

and all kind of
courts, Mr. Marchetti.

Basketball, baseball,
football, I'm on all that.

And it's my understanding
that lump Maxwell has been

backing your current operation.

I've been with lump since he was

running numbers in St. albans.

Yeah, lump's a gentlemen.

Always been a gentleman
in a... in a business

full of fucking rapscallions.

Lump good.

He at that age where he
finally kicking his feet up, though.

Got hisself a little
spot in sag harbor,

helping raise his grandkids.

Early called lump and told him

that he might be
fucking with you on this,

and he was good with it.

Lump don't get in
the way of a man

making a honest living.

Yeah, or a dishonest.

That too.

Alright look, as Marvin
has probably told you,

I got a nice piece of
business in corona.

It's been in my family
since before the Dutch

overpaid the fuckin'
Indians for Manhattan.

It's run out of a pool hall I
own on Roosevelt Avenue.

All you would have
to do is take the action,

keep the books.

Early, he know how
to do all that shit.

I mean, he's done every hustle
there is, even some that ain't.

Just so we're clear,

you are vouching
for your friend here,

and that shouldn't
be taken lightly.

Because any mistakes,

I'll be looking at you, Marvin.

Yeah, you're not
gonna have to look far.

I'm right here.

Yeah, that's good.

All right, so here we go.
Hey, to success and prosperity.

That's what I'm
fucking talking about.

To success and prosperity.

Kanan stark.

A pleasure.

You've accomplished
quite a lot at a young age.

Seem to me like
I'm right on schedule.

How's that price
hike been for ya?

It's not lost on me
that 20% is steep.

It's all good.

You just work
harder, that's all.

Look, if it's ever a time
when some shit come up

that you need to discuss,

you don't need to go
through my moms, man.

She just complicate shit.

My business is my business.

Put down any nigga you can.

This ain't about nothin'
else but hurtin' raq

every which fuckin' way.

You know me.

Down for whatever.

So this is yours?

I got partners,
including my brother.

But it's mostly mines.

Feels authentic.

Feels like you.

Don't know if
that's a compliment.

It's a compliment.

So if you trying to help rilla,

what does that help look like?

It looks like working
with both of you

to create a brand,
an image that feels

representative and evocative

of the music you two are making.

I always start with
the sound, Lou,

because if the message
doesn't match the music,

it doesn't work.

Well, we're still
figuring all that out.

And I'm not trying to
get in the way of that.

But I'd be lying if I didn't say

that rilla needs a single,

something that
reinvents him a little bit.

The audience knows
who he is already,

and they didn't engage before.

We need to show
them that he's more

than what they think they know.

You got opinions.

I have experience.

Look, I'm not telling you
anything that you don't know.

Obviously, you've done
this before with famous.

That song we put
out for him was a hit,

and people responded.

It didn't matter that they
were familiar with him already.

That track grabbed
people's attention

and redefined him.

Frankly, I thought that
famous was gonna be

our first big hip-hop act,

the artist we
could build off of.

But lowell tells me that
he's vanished into thin air.

Famous is collecting
his thoughts.

He's figuring his shit out.

So you've spoken to him?

Don't need to talk to
him. I know who he is.

I understand why he doin'
what he doin' right now.

Hopefully he'll be back soon.

I got to go check out
an artist across the river.

Any interest in joining me?

R&B act from east orange.

No thanks. I'm good.

This is an industry
of adversaries,

even within the same
company sometimes.

I hope you see
me as an ally, Lou.

You was smart to
call me first, Terry.

Police only gonna
make this shit worse.

I do not want to go to prison.

Look, my people is
gonna take care of it.

Alright, they gonna
clean this shit up,

and they gonna move
this work up out of here.

This was not part
of the agreement.

Space on the trucks,
that's what you said.

This is something else entirely.

It's just an
occupational hazard.

Not in my occupation.

You're in a different
occupation now, though.

Small price to
pay, Terry, really.

Yo, David here is right.

Y'all got this big new spot.

That shit wouldn't
happen for you

without our business together.

I heard about the
golden pavilion.

It seems like those of
us in business with you

are now being attacked.

I'ma handle it, just
like I'm handling this.

No need. We are done.

What?

No, we're not.

We never discussed
ending things altogether.

The kid who got put down
here was somebody we knew,

somebody who
used to work for us.

We takin' care of it.

Some salty ex-employee shit.

I'm sure you know how that go.

Our ex-employees do not return
with guns and murder people.

And he was not alone.

There was someone else with him.

And how is it so easy
for them to find us?

I'ma get to the
bottom of all of that.

All your other people
here, they know how to keep

a secret, right?

They're all Chinese nationals.

They won't say a
word to anybody.

In the meantime,
it's for your troubles.

That's not nearly
enough for our troubles.

Yes, it is.

We got you, Terry.

You just need to take a breath.

Can't be overreacting.

Toughen the fuck
up, Charlie chan.

We need to know who was
fuckin' with Damon on this, Marvin,

because he ain't never been
the brains behind no operation

in his whole fuckin' short life.

Whoever it is, it's gotta be
that they hit the restaurant

and kanan's too.

I've been askin' around,
but everybody's sayin'

they don't know
nothin', and I believe 'em.

Keep asking.

And spread some
money behind that shit.

Well I thought you
worked out the fish shop.

Well, I'm mixing
things up a little bit.

You know, predictability
is the enemy of security.

I appreciate you
meeting with me.

Well, the only reason
why I agreed to see you

is out of respect for quân
and our business together.

I work with your
mother, kid, not you.

That's why

hey, and your mother,
she loves you so much

that she borrowed a half
a million dollars from me

just so you could be
standing here today.

And I gotta tell you something,
I got two kids of my own,

and I don't love
either of them enough

to borrow more than
a-a goddamn c-note

on their behalf.

And yet, here you are

behind your mother's back.

Nah, I just wanted
to introduce myself.

I want you to know me.

Yeah, well, I don't
want to know you,

and I don't need to know you.

Go home, kid, and thank
your lucky fucking stars

you got a mother who loves you.

Come on, get him out of here.

Yo, what the fuck
happened to you?

Somebody put hands on you?

Come.

What's this?

If you want what we
discussed, you'll get in.

If not, we can part ways now.

Same person
responsible for putting

your son and
husband in the ground

got my blood on they hands too.

Guess what I'm trying to say is,

we got common
enemies, Mrs. Boselli.

Call me Teresa.

Well, common enemies can make

for some real good
friends, Teresa.

My husband never
discussed business with me.

And I was never the kind of
girl who got my hands dirty.

Sally always said I
was too pretty for that.

But you are right.

Someone has got to pay
for what they did to my men,

god rest their souls.

I want you

you go talk to him.

You tell him sal's
wife sent you.

He's gonna know
what to do with you.

I'm gonna make them
pay for what they did

to you and me, Teresa.

That's my word.

Thank you.

That's my word.

Green tea with cardamom.

Reminds me of home,
which ishaq tells me

you have a
particular interest in.

I do.

I'm looking to get into
the import business.

Most of my exportable
goods are spoken for.

To work with a
new vendor like you,

I'll have to cultivate
a new source

and hire new workers.

Work is good.

Indeed.

I only surround myself
with people that are serious.

And thoughtful.

And prudent.

But this is an
interesting opportunity.

I'll be in touch.

Yeah, I'm running this
imprint that's gonna be

exclusively hip-hop.

Rilla is the first artist
that we fuckin' with.

That's dope.

Congratulations, yo.

I ain't done nothin' yet,
but I appreciate the thought.

Yo, I'm about to hit the shower.

You ain't gotta update me

on your personal hygiene, nigga.

I'm just saying, when I'm done,

I'll be ready to make
moves to the studio.

Yo, stay up, kanan.

This,

so what, you two living
together and some shit?

I been trying to get this
nigga to move the fuck out.

He say he don't
like being alone.

Says when he by
hisself, he get into drama.

And I can't have no dramatics
with this nigga right now.

Speakin' of, I'm guessin' you
ain't heard of shit from fame.

Nothin'.

I spoke to his sister.

She promised me
he ain't out in la.

Now, she could be
bullshittin' to protect,

but that's not really Jess way.

She sounds scared, kanan.

She said they moms
went to the police,

trying to get help to find him.

What you think?

On the real, I'm tryin'
not to think about it.

'Cause everything I'm thinkin'
right now is real fucked up.

Damn.

The fuck happened to you, fame?

Yeah?

Raquel Thomas?

Detective walton, NYPD.

This is my partner, O'Leary.

We're here to talk to
you about andré Barnes.

He's my attorney. What's up?

Could we speak inside?

Mr. Barnes' body was
found in his apartment.

They take anything?

Was it a robbery?

Not as far as we could tell.

We checked his
schedule, and it looks like

he had dinner with you
shortly before he was killed.

This ain't got
shit to do with me.

Alright, we went to dinner,
and then we went our own ways.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

We're not suggesting
you're a suspect in any way.

We're just wondering
if Mr. Barnes mentioned

meeting anyone
after his time with you.

If he might have expressed
any concerns about his safety.

André was my lawyer.

We talk shop, that's all.

I must say, we're aware
of your past, Ms. Thomas.

Your name always seems
to pop up at the wrong times.

Like I said, what
happened to andré

don't got nothing to do with me.

And I ain't got nothing
else to say to you.

Time to go.

If you happen to think
of anything relevant,

no matter how small,
please give us a call.

Thanks for your time.

Fuck!

This it?

That's what she said.

Third floor.

Yo, this shit can't get wild.

I'm takin' this so
shit don't get wild.

Leave it here, please.

All right.

A'ight. I hear you.

This ain't gonna take long.

You stay put.

Who is it?

I said, who the fuck is it?

What the fuck?

Leave her alone,
or I'ma be back.

There's a thousand ways to die

while you still breathin'.

Shit that eat at you,

fuck with your head,
fuck with your soul.

Kill you a little bit every day.

And then one day,
you look in the mirror,

and you don't even recognize
who's starin' back at you.

- Juke...
- go!

But every now and
then, you get a nigga

who see theyselves
in that mirror.

And they know
who lookin' at 'em.

And they like that nigga.

They think that all that
death look good on 'em.

And them's the motherfuckers
you gotta fear the most,

'cause they dead already.

They just don't know it yet.
