Synopsis
Kool (Silkk The Shocker) is a good kid from the inner city with ambitions of becoming a successful rap star. He is a black belt in Kenpo karate and is in love with poised and college-bound LaShawna (Shireen Crutchfield).
Delores (Pamella D'Pella), Lashawna's mother doesn't approve of their relationship, seeing Kool as trouble for her daughter as Kool fails to convince her to let Lashawna go to Vegas with him, since she'll be departing for college soon. After celebrating his birthday with Lashawna, Tyrel (Mystikal) arrives and informs him of a situation that's arisen with Pee Wee (Anthony Johnson) and rushes him out of the door, even though Kool is apprehensive about his girlfriend walking home by herself, she tells him to go on ahead.
As she's walking home she witnesses a deal between an undercover cop and an enforcer for Saint (Clifton Powell), a big time drug dealer in the city of Los Angeles. The deal goes bad and the cop gets fatally stabbed. As Lashawna tries to console the dying cop, Officer Mack (Brent Huff), who was hiding behind crates appears and brandishes his weapon, causing Lashawna to run just as help arrives. As she runs all the way home with police in tow, she is then charged with murder. Kool is informed of this by Eddy (Anthony Boswell), a local cop and good friend of everyone in the neighborhood, who's willing to help but can't due to the fact that it isn't his collar. He then informs Kool that he has to talk to Detective Tully (Gary Busey) since it's his collar, and Tully says to make an appointment, which he does.
Tully doesn't care about freeing Lashawna but he does want to bring down Saint's criminal empire, so he sends Kool in undercover, framing him by killing a drug dealer with a gun that has Kool's prints on it.
