Hip hop parody CB4 follows a trio of two-bit rappers trying to make it in the rap game. After endless stalled attempts, the group finally strikes gold when they take on identities of a bunch of prison-bred lunatics out to shock anyone and everyone. The result is a machine-gun spoof on race and taste in popular music with sights set on pearl-clutching suburbanites, industry buffoons, wannabe rappers, furious afrocentrics, and psychotic gangsters.

CB4 producer Nelson George is an author, cultural critic and filmmaker. He has written numerous books including the non-fiction The Death of Rhythm & Blues and Hip Hop America, and the novel The Plot Against Hip Hop. He has directed the HBO film Life Support, the Lifetime movie The Real MVP and the feature documentary A Ballerina’s Tale about Misty Copeland. He has produced two films for Chris Rock, the documentary Good Hair and CB4.
