The film takes an interesting and intense look behind the scenes of a follow-up track featuring Nana Roxie's Revenge.

"I became inspired after watching the Netflix movie Roxanne Roxanne. I began researching and I discovered an underworld of response records to Roxanne Shanté and DJ Marley Marl. In the 80's, people were trying to gain traction to the dream of hip-hop and stardom for themselves. I knew there had to be a story buried somewhere, and then came the birth of Nana Roxie's Revenge," said Huntley.
