When talented rapper / DJ Kenny (Guy Davis) meets cultured jazz artist Tracy (Rae Dawn Chong), he is so inspired by her dedication that he vows to use his talents to escape the ghetto. But when his friend, a gifted graffiti artist is killed in a tragic accident, Kenny comes face-to-face with the high price of artistic passion. Now he has to choose between using his talents as a ladder to fame and fortune… or offering them instead as a memorial to his friend. Featuring extraordinary break dancing and graffiti art as it emerged over 20 years ago, Beat Street features a soundtrack produced by the legendary partnership of Arthur Baker and Harry Belafonte, and is presented here as the extended version – 5 minutes longer than has been seen in Region 2 before. Music by Harry Belafonte & Arthur Baker Soundtrack features Afrika Bambaataa, Melle Mel and Rubén Blades
