![]() ![]() This is a memory, and it's why Bri calls her mom “Jay” instead of “Mom.” In the morning, Bri feels excited: kids on the bus saw her rap battle video and her best friends, Sonny and Malik, congratulate her. That night, Bri has her recurring nightmare: Jay is addicted to crack and is leaving Bri and Bri's brother, Trey, with Grandma and Granddaddy. Milez insults Lawless, but Bri performs so well in the second and third rounds that she wins. He's the son of Supreme, Lawless's old manager. When it's Bri's turn to rap, she goes up against a kid named Milez. Bri thinks that she'd like to make her own name. They skip the line and the bouncers refer to Bri as “Li'l Law”-a reference to her dad, the famous rapper Lawless, who was murdered by the Crowns gang twelve years ago. Bri's Aunt Pooh, a member of the Garden Disciples gang, takes Bri to the Ring. ![]() At home, she finds her mom, Jay, serving "Popkenchurch," a conglomerate fast-food meal that means something bad happened. Bri doesn't receive the call until nearly an hour later. Sixteen-year-old Bri is barely able to concentrate on her ACT practice test: she's waiting for a call from DJ Hype, telling her she can participate in a rap battle in the Ring later. ![]()
