Mixing documentary footage of the real-life dancehall scene, interviews with local dancehall heroes, and inspired by a true story, KING OF THE DANCEHALL is Nick Cannon’s stunning, dramatic exploration of the world's sexiest dance tradition. Seeking to cover his ailing mother's medical bills, a young man (Nick Cannon) travels to Jamaica to enter the drug trade. Once there, he's swept up in the infectious dancehall musical craze and finds himself torn between two lovers.

I cried in the end when he died but it was really good. Especially in the last part when Stephen stopped the police from entering the competition

It's sort of a gangsta movie with some good laughs in it (if you understand patois and jamaican culture)
