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.

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.

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.
- [Nyna] 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.

[Reporter] 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.

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.
Yeah, fry cheers.
Let's get to it.
♪ If you out here running it,
♪ let me see you strap them shoes up ♪

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.
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.
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

Oh, what's this I hear about Trigga
doing a song with subway girl?
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.

Okay Jesse, calm down.

She might have took something.
I don't know.
Doc, please.

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.

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. - I'm not a sugar monster.

♪ Can we start over
♪ Redo it
- [Radio Host] 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.

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.

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.
