An East African MC, Balozi Dola, wanders into a Bronx barbershop on his pilgrimage to find “the real hip hop.” Stubeling upon the pioneers of the New York hip hop scene, including Grandmaster Flash’s original partner DJ Eazy Mike, Balozi enters the scene rhyming with Grandmaster Caz.
ALL I WANNA DO
Michelle Medina, Morocco, 2010, 59min.
“All I Wanna Do” follows the dreams of 48-year-old Simohamed who works as a parking guard and his 17-year-old son Ayoub, who acts in Hollywood films such as ‘Charlie Wilson’s War’. When Ayoub’s dreams of going to Hollywood are dashed he turns to music and forms a hip hop group with his father. The duo set out to meet their heroes, enter studios and radio stations for the first time in an adventure through the music industry of Casablanca.
