A talented young hip-hop performer becomes the vehicle for her father's unfulfilled ambitions in this feature documentary. A struggling father and former rapper, Jesse Diaz works hard to support his family as a single dad. He regains custody of his two daughters after incarceration and finds himself broke, unemployed and living in temporary housing. He pins his hopes for the family's fortunes on his youngest daughter, Priscilla a.k.a. P-Star. Recognizing Priscilla's natural musical talent and precocious personality, Jesse sets out to make his 9-year-old daughter the next rap phenomenon 'the youngest girl on the scene.'

Rated 2.0/5 Stars my rating click to rate 1 2 3 4 5 yushuwu 5:14 PM		Rather disappointing and seemingly too focused on turning this innocent 9 year old into a sexual symbol as much of hip-hop is. The girl may be naturally good at this type of dancing, but not to the exclusion of all other artistic and educational areas. Seemed like the adults just wanted to make money from her talent at too young an age.
