Keen for a feed?
No. Eating with my dad.
All right. You sure?
Yep.
Oi! Don't forget
the battle tonight.
Whatever, mum.
Hey, you off home?
No. I got to go study.
Meet at yours at 7:00?
Yeah. Later, loser.
Rude.
For the land of the long white.
And my mom for the whole flight.
Yeah, just a small-town
kid with the midas touch.
Trying to make some memories
before the time is up.
And it's all
I feel so good today
I feel so good today.
Son...
How was your day?
Same as yesterday.
You're done with school.
What are your plans
after the summer?
I don't know?
Hey, I got the job
at the warehouse.
- Recycling plastic.
- It's work.
Heaps of people around
here don't even have jobs.
I promised your mother you'd
make something of yourself,
and that's why I've decided
if you don't have a better
plan after the summer...
You're joining the army.
- What?
- You heard me.
You got six weeks to decide what
you're gonna do with your life.
- That's bullshit.
- Watch your mouth.
Look, I know the army
isn't a flash life,
but this is something
you can be proud of.
Oi! Loser, we're gonna be late.
Coming.
Sarge, the army's your thing.
If you don't find
something better,
it'll be your thing, too.
Tu, hurry up!
Let's go.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Young, young sid.
Young, young, young sid, ho.
Young, young sid.
Young, young, young sid.
Young, young sid.
Young, young, young sid.
What's your name now?
Sidney diamond,
fresh off confinement.
Ready for assignment,
kill my rivals.
No gang beside him
I solo-ride in any province
I'm king.
North and south island,
put your hands up
I'm back.
Change the climate,
chasing climates.
Choking on a cohiba.
Sculling back Cuba libres.
Eating lots of seviche
in another time zone.
Where it's no habla ingl?
Bonita se? Rita.
Won't believe it till you see it.
Who's the freaking man now?
Recognize
I ain't need no
artist and repertoire.
Tell me... I already know.
Hey, check my own records, boy.
Boss... playa del Carmen.
Breaking the broads in, aw...
Sunshine, skin tan.
Now, that's Karma for my losses.
You see that? It's your dreams.
You can never
hold on to my seams.
Ain't no other rap cat in n. Z.
Besides one... with me.
Forget your instagrams
and your tweets
I'm out here, getting
horsed on a beach.
Yo, I'm a stylish...
Right now I bet
you wish you were me
2pk, 2pk, 2pk, 2pk, 2pk, 2pk!
Army or no army, you're
always part of the crew, cuz.
Forget that.
I am not joining the army.
What else are you gonna do?
Yo, Tu!
Check it out.
Yo!
- That's bad.
- Far out.
I'll flick you the link.
Cheers, bro.
If we want to rip
it up at regionals,
we have to start going harder.
Yeah, like that's gonna happen.
Straight up. If only
everyone just focused.
What do you care?
You're off to uni soon anyway.
Bro, I'm not going anywhere
without that scholarship.
You're brainy.
Uni-level.
You got this.
Maybe I should join the army.
What? I'd be a better
soldier than you would.
Yeah, probs.
Chin up. Sarge might
change his mind.
Not even.
See you tomorrow, loser.
Later, nerd.
We got to get you ready
for boot camp, soldier.
Rise and shine!
Up and up!
Up and up, son.
We are moving!
Life isn't a box of chocolates.
We couldn't afford
chocolates, so I had no idea.
Come on, son.
Don't let your old
man show you up.
- Hold up!
- To the top.
You'll do better tomorrow, son.
Tomorrow? What?
And every day until you enlist.
We'll find something
better to do with your life.
What if I do have something?
Recycling plastics
doesn't count, son.
- Forget it.
- Okay. Well, tell me, then.
- Hip.
- Hop.
What?
- Hip.
- Hop! Dancing!
No, mate. Nice try.
I mean a real job, Tu.
That is a real job.
People make mean money
going all around the world.
People like your
mates from work?
You think they'll make
it big anytime soon?
Moving.
This heat is bullshit.
Aw, man. There's only one damn
fan in this whole building.
Got any sprays?
Yeah, in the back pocket.
- Bro.
- What?
Don't tell me you're
holding at work.
I'm not holding at work.
I'm not gonna leave it at home.
My auntie would thrash
me with a jandal.
Well, are you
using that or what?
Look at this place, man.
Yo, are you Tu kaea?
It depends.
Who's asking?
You might want to check
that attitude, bro.
- Bro!
- Brant, relax.
We didn't come all this
way to start trouble.
We saw your clip.
- Not bad.
- Thanks.
Kane thinks you have what
it takes to join our crew.
I...
I've already got a crew.
So we've come all
this way for nothing?
Hey...
Can I think about it?
- This is a one.
- Time offer.
Studio's on the north shore.
Address is on the site.
Be there at 4:00
or don't bother.
Hope to see you there.
Who was that?
Bro, you're not
gonna believe it.
That was K-crew.
- Real?! Like the k.
- Crew?
- The k.
- Crew.
They want me to audition, man.
Should I do it?
Hell yes! This
could be it for you!
This could be your chance
to get out of this place
and to do it big.
I don't know.
Look, imagine you're me
and your best
mate just got given
the opportunity of a
lifetime dropped in his lap.
Now, what would
you tell him to do?
What do I tell the others?
- Nothing.
- But Vonnie.
Vonnie don't need to know.
No one needs to know, not
till they need to know.
Yeah. I guess you're right.
I know I'm right, and so do you.
K-crew.
It's there. Pretty mean.
Sort of get in early, get
out early kind of thing?
I've been working with kids
on their school holidays
for 20 years,
and no one's ever wanted to
start their shift earlier.
Since my dad's got me up
at the ass crack of dawn,
I reckon I'd just start the day.
6:00 on the dot.
Don't make me regret it.
I won't.
Try and keep up, old man.
Good to see you
finally showed up, son.
Check it out, 1, 2.
Hey, yo, hey, yo
I came a long way
since back in the day.
From a teenager tryin' to
make it, rappin' this way.
Ever since I was a kid,
I had somethin' to say.
Rockin' Mikes was the dream,
I didn't care about pay
I sacrificed late nights
and goin' out with my friends.
Just to stay home alone
with my pad and my pen.
Had my eyes on my
prize, my mind on my goal.
As I carved these rhymes
out with my heart and my soul
I didn't have a cd,
all I had was a tape.
On the dole through my
flow was my only escape.
From a world where they
didn't want to see me prevail.
Don't want to see me take it all.
They'd rather see me fail.
It's like
I was down and out, struggling.
Wondered how I'm
gonna make it through
I got a dream.
All I had was a pad and a pen.
Holding on.
Wondered how.
I got a dream.
I won't let go 'cause I got...
Come on.
Thanks for coming.
Really stoked to have you here.
We've seen your footage.
You know you got the moves,
but do you have what it takes?
Behind me are the best
dancers in New Zealand,
among some of the
best in the world.
And with myself, we make up
the K-crew's national team.
Three-time world champions.
Yeah, buddy.
You have six weeks
before regionals
to show us what you got.
You show us you got the k-factor,
you're in K-crew.
But if you're ever late or you
don't show up, I will cut you.
I don't care if you're sick.
I don't care if you have jobs.
Either we're your
priority or we're not.
And if we're not, leave now.
All right then.
Brant, take them through.
All right, guys, we're
doing basic choreography.
Here we go. Music. Let's do it.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
It's close.
But for it to work, you have to
do it just like everyone else.
Watch me.
Better.
So, you know everyone here?
Kind of. I know
of everyone here.
What's her story?
Sasha?
Moved over last year.
Been repping out
competitions ever since.
Moved from where?
New York.
- Is she with Kane?
- Better believe it.
Off-limits, Romeo.
Yo, you guys both made it in.
Next session's tricks, though.
Sweet. Thanks, brant.
- Trick.
- Whatever.
You fellas got a beef?
Let's just say
not everyone is as comfortable
with my sexuality as I am.
- What a dick.
- I'm used to it.
Hater's gonna hate.
I bet they're gonna
work us like dogs
to get us ready for regionals.
Woof, woof.
Tu.
Tu, come on. Wake up.
Thanks.
Bro, they've got
a massive studio...
All these mirrors,
locker room, showers.
Sweet setup.
So party on the
north shore, is it?
Nah. We'll party on the
shore if I make the crew.
So when do you find that out?
Six weeks of auditions.
Six weeks?
Oi.
Is Phil all good with you
working half days that long?
I'm here at 6:00,
opening up shop.
Look at you?
Can you flip me the key
so I can hustle some green?
Uncle Tucker's been
bugging me for a new spot.
This place is busy,
but low-key it is
and heaps of places
to stash my stuff.
Just 'cause I ain't
gonna dob you
doesn't mean I'm
gonna help you out.
Yeah, yeah.
But I'm serious about a
party on the shore, though.
Put a little brown
in browns bay.
Got the "little" part right.
Go from this last part.
Smash it out. 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Go 1 and 2 and 3 and ta.
Ta, ta, ta, ta,
ta, ta, boom, ka.
- Yes?
- Okay, all good.
Practice that. Take a break.
We'll come back to it.
Crew not good enough
for you anymore, docks?
Yeah, my auntie said that
she seen you on the bus
going to the north shore.
What's up with that, man?
Yeah...
Are you gonna tell
them, or should I?
What? Tell them what?
Gather around.
- What's happening?
- I've got an announcement.
Benjy, don't.
What's up?
On me.
Tu's in love with a shore girl.
Sad, but true.
- It's nothing serious.
- Nothing serious?
Hell, she got this
maori catching a bus
for three hours two days a week.
What?
Boy's whooped!
- This boy's wet!
- Yeah.
Well...
When a rich, white
girl call for him
lord!
Take a break.
He got to ride that
bus to the north shore.
Yeah!
If he want it,
he got to ride it
so he can wine it
baby, baby
if he want it, he got to ride it.
Benjy, what?
So he can grind it baby, baby
if you want it, you got to
ride it till you can grind it.
- See you fellas later.
- Peace.
Bro, stop stalling.
You've got to...
Hey, Tucker, it's Benjy.
What?!
Yo, Tu!
"G," do you remember
that video I made of you?
Yeah.
That's had 20,000 views.
Yo.
I don't think your head's
allowed to get any bigger.
It's ugly enough already.
Yo, Tu. Tu, can I talk to you?
Yeah.
Alone?
What are you up to you?
Don't you worry about
what we're up to.
Get home before
you get in trouble.
Whatever, ball sack.
Come, Ceejay.
The girls are having
a heart-to-heart.
Bro, my uncle's
place just got raided.
I really need your key.
What? No.
Bro, I just need it for tonight.
Then I'll give it straight back.
- I could lose my job, man.
- I know.
I wouldn't ask if
this wasn't legit.
Tucker's on me hard.
So...?
Did I help you before?
Yeah, but...
So two-way street, bro.
I'm serious, Tu. I need this.
I want it back tomorrow.
Tomorrow, first thing.
Thanks, man.
Yeah, yeah. See you.
Nice, Conrad.
Jase.
Show you how it's done.
Keep him in the middle,
team! Let's go!
Wallin' on it
let's take it up a notch.
Brant, Andrew.
Wa, wa, wallin' on it.
Wa, wallin'
We got any pairs in the house?
- Yo.
- Yo.
Twins, bro. Twins.
Madison, give me some queen bee.
Yeah!
We got any girls left?
Yeah. Tino's left.
Brant, that's enough.
- All right.
- Sophie.
No.
I got this.
Sasha, your turn.
Tu, what you got?
Top that?
What's the holdup?
So, won these today.
Not really my style.
What are you on about?
These kicks are choice.
Turns out you have some tricks.
A couple.
I seen you guys jam before.
Didn't know you
could dance like that.
Well, ballet really
isn't Kane's thing.
Probably 'cause he can't
lift his leg up that high.
True.
But he does know how
to win championships.
Anyway, I'm out.
A'ight.
Check you out, girl.
See you next week?
A'ight.
Out of the trenches!
Son.
Let me see your war face!
Outside for stretches!
Move it, move it, move it!
I got the new world in my view.
On my journey I pursue
I'm running.
Running for the city
I got the new world in my view.
They ain't got muscle, no hustle.
No backbone, I stand alone.
Not trippin', just
sayin' I'm different.
Ain't hangin' on to the
coattails of the next man.
Passport in my left hand.
Thinkin' that you are next.
Heck, hope you ain't
holding your breath, man.
'Cause I'm out here.
Boom, boom.
Ain't had this much drive
since my Honda civic got rusty.
You should leave.
See ya.
Run it again.
Spoiled it on me
like Willie beanie.
Sip it for me like cappuccino
Instagram and tuxedos
with my peoples.
We growin' up.
Still the scene of us slowin' up.
Tense wall we throwin' up.
Every time, we be showin' up.
Get it while I'm livin'
Up, up, up.
See them?
So I'm 'bout my business.
And I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
I'm runnin' with them now.
They don't wanna give it up.
We gonna make it out.
Hey. I'm almost done. I promise.
You're breaking in?
- No, I.
- I got a key. I got once cut.
So you involve me
in this bullshit now.
- No.
- No, no, no, no.
I can't believe you!
Piss off, Benjy!
Get that shit out of here.
I've been.
Feelin' a little lonely.
Okay, stop playing around.
Not until you teach me
some of your fancy moves.
Okay, you're not
taking it seriously.
Excuse me?
I'm trying to broaden my
dance horizons, a'ight?
Okay.
I see you inside my daydreams.
Do you want to try some lifts?
Sure.
Okay. I'm gonna run to you.
Turn around. Face this way.
Okay.
I'm gonna run, put my leg here,
and you're gonna wrap
your arm around my body,
and you're gonna flip
me over your shoulder.
This shoulder?
Like superman.
- Like superman?
- Yeah.
- Use those muscles.
- Yo.
- Okay, ready? Try it slow.
- Yeah.
5, 6, 7, 8.
1, 2, 3, grab, pull forward.
So... not there!
No, okay. Again?
Yeah, yeah, okay.
You want to try running into it?
- Sure.
- Okay.
Here we go.
1, 2, 3, 4, lift.
So close.
What do you mean,
close? That was it.
No, hold up.
Let's dance.
Pardon me.
It's no surprise.
That we ain't in heaven.
We're on the earth.
But you.
You meet me in my darkest cavern.
Can't count what you are worth.
'Cause, baby, when
the waves crash over me.
And, baby, when
the skies turn crazy.
You're the only one
I want next to me.
Me.
With every passin' second,
every drop of fallin' rain
I realize I'm lucky
to be holding you.
When my ground starts shakin'
and my bones start breakin'
I realize I'm lucky
to be holdin' you.
We ain't in a perfect world.
But you still
bring the stars out
I'm sorry.
Am I interrupting something?
Sasha was just
teaching me some lifts.
True?
How nice of you to
help our guest, Sasha.
Hey, ladies. Is that us?
- No, thanks.
- No, thanks.
Sweet. Up to you.
We're going for a
feed. Burger time.
- Bro, they so want this.
- You've got issues.
- Is everything all right at home?
- You know you want this, too.
And that's why you're single.
Aw, stop.
Tu, is that us?
Sure.
Madison kept stepping on me.
She's just not used to
dancing with hobbits.
- Shut up.
- Nah. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
So, do you guys, like,
go out or something?
No. She's my sister.
- Shane.
- Don't worry, "G."
I used to think they
were dating, too.
Bro, I thought she was
totally out of your league.
Can you not be awkward?
Hey, 'cause you're
pretty all right.
No, really. Just stop.
So, how'd it go with brant?
It was tough, man.
I mean, I hit him
with my best stuff,
but if I couldn't
make it look K-crew,
then he doesn't want
to know about it.
I mean, you're the îsh
and everybody knows it.
And if we can't dance like
them, then chk, chk, chk, chk...
Get the K-crew cut.
I'm not a stalker or anything.
I just saw the lights on.
It's all good.
Working on something new?
No, just conditioning.
Hey, we all good earlier?
I hope I didn't get
you in trouble with...
No, no.
It's totally my fault.
Kane doesn't really
like us messing around
during rehearsals.
It's all right to have
a little bit of fun.
Yeah.
You hungry?
Starving.
Welcome to my home.
Far out.
You sure your olds
won't be mad I'm here?
No. Dad's in China for business,
and mom still lives in New York.
So you got this whole
place to yourself.
Pretty much.
I hope quinoa salad's okay.
Sounds good.
How is it?
Yum.
You liar.
Hey, can I ask you something?
Sure.
Do you ever ask yourself
if it's worth it?
If what's worth it?
All the things that we
do to win, to be the best.
Of course it's worth it.
Why?
'Cause dance is everything.
To dance with the best.
Man, I'd do anything to
be in K-crew with you.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
I'd be living the dream.
I don't know about dream.
Hey, beats joining the army.
The army?
Dad's thing.
Family tradition.
Sucks.
And your mom?
She's not around anymore.
This your mom?
She's the real deal.
Yeah, well, she's only agreed
to this whole hip-hop phase
'cause K-crew's doing so well.
Second we stop winning...
You sure I can't take you home?
Yeah.
'Cause you're driving
all wrong for a 'cuda.
Really?
Yep. You got to roll
the windows down.
- Check.
- And you got to ride low.
Like this?
No. Like this.
And you got to
turn the music up.
What's up?
Don't judge me.
You got to pump it.
I wouldn't want
to embarrass you.
I don't know
anybody around here.
Turn it up, turn it up.
That somebody loves you.
Somebody thinks you
got a halo above you.
He thinks you're wonderful.
He thinks you're beautiful.
In everything you do.
Somebody loves you.
He wants to tell you
every time you're near.
We can't.
Somebody loves you.
Somebody loves you.
He's right here
I know.
Auger broke.
I opened it up and
already clocked you in.
Move your ass!
Thanks.
I won't be long.
Hey, sorry about last night.
We're gonna be late.
How we all feeling?
Hey, congrats on
making it this far.
But this is just the beginning.
We're going up a level.
We're doing three days a week.
- Sweet?
- Yeah.
Pair up.
Tu, you're with me.
I just want you to
be honest with me.
What's up?
Are you still serious
about being in my crew?
Of course I am.
Then, why are you holding back?
Well, most of my moves
aren't your style.
True. Your moves
are messy as hell.
I could fix it.
It just looks like you
don't want to dance with us.
- What? No. I do.
- I get it.
You see my nice ride,
my private studio.
You think I come from money?
Bro, I come from pommy,
straight-up ghetto trash.
I know what it's like
to come from nothing.
Everything I have now
I got from dancing.
And I got it 'cause I'm all-in.
- So what if I go all.
- In but it's not enough?
That's on you.
But if you don't go all-in,
I'll cut you... tonight.
Tu, you're a solid dancer,
and I really want you
to make it into K-crew.
- Tell me what to do, then.
- Bring your "a" game.
So when do we start?
Hey.
What did he say?
Well, what did you guys do?
- You're so his favorite.
- You're so his favorite.
- Clue us up.
- Clue us up.
Whoa, sis. Let the man breathe.
No, but honest,
what did Kane want?
Nothing. He just wanted to talk.
So you guys just talked?
- Jammed a little set.
- Hey!
- What?
- So he danced with you?
He wants me to come up
with a K-crew style set
- and show him next time.
- Sweet!
So at least one of us is in.
The way I see it,
the best dancers they could
pick are standing right here.
That's right!
- Yo!
- Yo!
- K-crew!
- K-crew!
She must be some girl to have
you dancing in the street.
You're out late.
I got the scholarship.
Straight up?
- For real?
- For real.
I'm going to uni.
That's mean, Von!
- Yeah?
- Hell yeah!
I always knew you'd crack it.
Yeah, I know you did.
And you never listen to me.
Yeah, 'cause most of
what you say is stupid.
You know that means I'll
have to leave the crew
when school starts.
You'll be around for regionals.
Yeah, but after that...
I'm gonna tell the crew
at practice tomorrow.
Go to bed, loser.
Whatever. You're the one
hanging around like a creep.
Creep? Aw, shut up.
'Night.
You're home late.
Again.
Where've you been?
Was out with the boys.
You know, living it up
before I get shipped away.
Well, you kids have
got to grow up someday?
Yep.
Get some sleep.
We're up in four hours.
Any luck hooking
some shore honeys?
Bro, you can't stay
angry at me forever.
I've got to go.
You holding, G?
Hey.
Take one.
- How much?
- Just $20.
Sweet.
Got any mates?
Yep.
Got some mates downtown
who might want to
have a word with you.
Aw, shit!
Hey!
Against the wall!
Get off me!
Benjy tuhoro,
you're under arrest!
Love you! Whoo!
Hey, look at him.
- Love you!
- Yeah, boy!
I'm gonna go.
All right.
See you later, all right?
Bye.
Bye, babe.
Hey.
Twins all good?
Gadarthy got cut.
Bro, it could be
any one of us next.
You look terrible.
Bro, I can't even.
What is it?
What's up?
It's just a lot of pressure,
I need to get into K-crew.
If it's too far from karae,
you should just stay up here.
We have a spare room.
All good, bro.
I got to get home, got
to keep my old man happy,
keep my boss happy,
keep my crew happy.
You still jam with 2pk?
Well, I didn't know if this
was gonna be locked down.
And I didn't want to piss
them off over nothing.
All of us left our crews.
This is Kane's national team.
I know, man.
And it's only Tuesday.
It's Wednesday.
Man, I've got to go.
- See you tomorrow.
- If Vonnie hasn't killed me!
Von. Sorry. I got mixed
up. I'm coming now.
Practice is canceled anyway.
That's why I was
trying to call you.
What? Why?
Benjy got arrested.
We're at the warehouse.
Hurry up.
What's the haps, man?
What are you on about?
You, being late for practice.
You were a no-show today.
I've been working, man.
Ceejay said that you've
been leaving early for weeks.
Bro, regionals are
almost here, and you're blowing...
Blowing us off for some
girl on the north shore!
I thought this crew meant
more to you than that.
Bro, not even.
Then what?
I've been... trying out...
For K-crew.
- What?!
- K-crew?!
- Hey! Hey!
- Chill! Chill! Chill!
- "G."
- "G," get off me, man!
I still want to dance with
you if I don't make it!
What?! So we're
you're second choice?
- No.
- Your side crew, is it?
- I just...
- Just what?!
I'm nearly there!
I only have to make it
through one more practice
without getting cut!
So we're just supposed to wait?
Bro, who do you think
you are? Like, honestly.
Benjy's out,
and you think you can just
waste our time like that?
You have to choose.
Vonnie... you guys are my crew.
So you choose us?
No.
Tu, don't you dare
leave us like that.
- What do you want from me?!
- Why didn't you tell me?
'Cause you'd have
talked me out of it!
What?
I'm not like you, okay?
I'm not smart. I'm
not going to uni!
So, yeah, I saw a chance to
make something good of myself,
- and I took it!
- Then why didn't you just leave?
Why lie to us, make up
some girl on the shore?
I didn't make her up!
It's hard to explain.
What do you even care?
You're gone soon, anyway.
'Cause I was gonna leave
you in charge of the crew,
and I thought you
gave a damn about us.
Hey!
What're you doing here?
Coming to work.
You don't work here
anymore. You're fired.
Give me your key.
Benjy said he stole your key,
copied it, swore
you weren't involved.
Is that true?
Whatever it is you're doing...
Hope it's worth it.
All right, listen up.
Today's your last chance.
Show me how much you want this.
Pair up.
Sasha, pair up.
You know, if I make it,
you have to start
talking to me again.
Let's just dance.
5, 6, 7...
- What's wrong with you?
- Nothing.
Then why are you
making me look bad?
Today's my last chance!
Tu, this is just a
friggin' dance crew.
For you, maybe!
My whole life depends on this!
- Tu, I'm so sorry.
- No.
Can I get another
partner, please?
Run it from the top. 5, 6...
How are things at work?
It's too hard to say. You
know, same stuff every day.
You think I don't know
what a lie looks like, boy?
- What?
- Sarge...
So you know nothing
about all that dope
the cops found at
your work, then?
I'm not doing any of that stuff.
Straight up.
I was on the shore all day.
- Out there dealing?
- What? No.
Just... give it to me straight.
Tu kaea, what have
you been doing, son?
Dancing.
I'm one of the
final five in tryouts
to join the best hip-hop
crew in New Zealand.
You're joking, right?
This is it for me.
This is my break.
And what happens if
they don't take you?
What are your plans, son?
They'll take me, dad.
They'll take me.
Move it.
It's good. From the top.
All I can say is that this
is a really hard decision.
You're all mean dancers, but
K-crew can't take you all.
When I call your name, come up.
Sasha.
Brent.
Madison.
Sophie.
Conrad.
Jules.
That leaves one more, right?
Andrew.
Congrats, guys.
Everyone else...
Wait.
That's just last year's crew.
Yeah, it is.
Thanks. You can go.
Tu! Tu, wait!
What was that?!
What were you guys
doing in there?
All I saw were you guys
doing my set, my moves.
Well, technically,
they're our moves now.
- What?!
- Tu!
- Stop! Hey! Wait!
- We were never going to get in.
They just wanted
to steal our sets.
I'm a winner.
I win at all costs.
Something you should learn.
Babe, let's go.
Be right there.
Later, freaks.
How long did you know?
- Tu...
- How long?
I didn't mean for any
of this to happen, but...
But what?
You were having too much
fun in your flash car
and your flash bloody mansion,
laughing with
your stuck-up mates
about how you would trick...
You tricked me.
That's not fair.
You tricked me into
thinking I had a chance.
No, I just... I have to figure
some things out, okay?
It's too late for that.
Yo.
Hey.
You surprised me.
Just came to check on my girl.
Hey, what's wrong?
What are we doing?
What it takes.
It's wrong.
This is so wrong, Kane.
Are you questioning
how I run my crew?
- No, I just...
- You just... what?
Think you could do a better job?
I didn't say that.
I took a huge risk
letting you in my crew.
You had no hip-hop
experience, no rep, no chance.
But now look at you.
People know your name,
girls want to be you,
guys want to date you.
I made you a winner.
Now, we both know what happens
when you stop winning, right?
You go home.
I don't want you to go home.
Do you?
No.
Then be a good girl.
Keep winning.
Hey, loser.
What do you want?
I didn't make it?
It was all a lie.
They lied to me.
To bite our moves.
Forget it.
Have fun at uni!
Tu.
Bro, drop the act and harden up.
So you didn't get asked to dance
with some rich
kids from the shore.
They were my only shot!
No, no, no, no, no.
Bro, you're all
wrong. Look at me.
You are your shot.
You don't need them.
They needed you.
If they're so stale they've got
to bite other people's moves,
they already know
they're on the way out.
But you?
Tu, you got nowhere
to go but up.
- Thanks, Von.
- Whatevs.
Just remember Benjy's in jail
for being even more of
a loser than you are.
Go and see him, loser.
It's not that bad.
Great TV.
Whatever.
I'm out on probation in a week.
I ain't never coming back here.
Thanks for not narcing on me.
Bro, I put myself in here.
And what am I gonna do?
Bring you down with me?
We're all looking
for a way up, cuz.
I just looked in
the wrong place.
Yeah, me too.
Bro, you're a mean dancer.
K-crew didn't think so.
Hey, k-crew know you're one of
the best dancers in the city.
That's why they scammed
you all in the first place.
Benjy, you're a genius!
Thanks, bro!
What did I say?
- Hey.
- Yo, what's up?
- How are you?
- Good.
What's up, brother?
- Hey, what's up?
- Hey, what's up?
- Welcome to kuda.
- How are you?
- You guys are here, so I'm guessing all.
- In.
Well...
Five isn't enough for a crew.
Well, good thing I called
some mates to come help out.
- Look, there they are.
- Easy, tiger.
Nah, I'm over twins, man.
Double the trouble.
- I know the south side ones.
- Hey, guys!
Hey!
My gosh, I haven't
seen you in so long!
- Hey, how are you?
- Good.
Look, it's a nice idea, but...
They took all of our best sets.
Our meanest choreography.
They took our
best K-crew style.
K-crew dance 'cause
it's what they do.
But we dance 'cause
it's who we are.
When was the last time you
guys danced just to dance?
It's a celebration
people, get your drinks up
hey. How you doing?
Call me.
I'm finna let it, finna
let it, finna let it go
yeah, girls.
O-original, original.
You know I'm original.
We feelin' the floor
I know you're feelin the floor
I never did this before,
when I'm killin' the floor
I said I reel in the dough.
You know I reel in the dough
and I'm stealin' the show.
That's right, I'm
stealing the show.
That's why they feelin' the show
I got good energy
in all of my chakras.
Kickin' all the
bitches like soccer.
Doin' it till
death of my partners.
We gon' keep up but
they callin' us monsters
I got superstars
all up in my roster.
Shakin' off all of the imposters.
You know I bring the
fire like a roster.
You a hater, see ya later.
Bye.
'Cause I lost ya.
Bong, bong, bong, bong.
They gon' be like,
"this my song".
Send a shout to my deejay.
We gonna party all night long.
Bong, bong, bong, bong.
They gon' be like,
"this my song".
Diggy, diggy,
da-diggy-diggy-da.
Diggy, diggy, all night long.
Turn me up in my track
'cause I'm finna let it go
I'm finna let it go
I'm finna let it go,
I'm finna let it go
I'm finna let it go
I'm finna let it go,
I'm finna let it go.
How does it feel not
to be a dick anymore?
Pretty good?
You think our crews can
make it to nationals?
- It's my last chance, so I'm going all.
- Out.
You always do.
Yeah, I do, I do.
To the freaks,
the freaks, freaks!
Of course, K-crew...
Yeah!
They're off for the
nationals once again.
We cruisin', we rollin'
But when we hit the scene,
Best believe we gonna go it.
Number-one girl in the game.
White man think they
gonna bring flame.
Boy, what's your claim to fame?
All right, give it up, guys!
Yeah, give it up!
Advancing to the nationals...
2pk!
Set it off, set it off,
don't bust your head
five, six, seven eight. One,
two, three four, five, six.
Yo, yo!
You guys need to
check this, man.
Freaks made it
through regionals.
They're gonna be at nationals.
They're nothing.
Back to work.
He's not home.
Excuse me?
It's Sasha, right?
You must be Vonnie.
Yeah, and you must be dumb if
you think Tu wants to see you
after what you did to him.
Look, I know you guys are close.
He's my best friend.
You used him, you lied to
him, and you stole from him.
I know what I did was wrong.
But I really do care about Tu.
Funny way of showing it.
Is he okay?
He's tough. He's
always gonna be okay.
Look, if you really
care about Tu,
then leave him alone and let
him focus on nationals tomorrow.
Can you just please
tell him that I was here?
Yeah, whatever.
Who's that?
Just somebody after Tu.
What's the boy done now?
Don't tell me it's this
dance rubbish, either.
Don't you know?
Know what?
What's this?
Your son.
He's hit over 800,000 views.
What's up, bitches?
Look what you did.
Von!
What are you doing here?
Shouldn't you be at work?
Can't a father
give his son a lift
on the biggest day of his life?
Can you hurry up?
We're gonna be late.
Seriously?
Moving.
Where's Tu?
He should be here.
- There he is.
- Tu! Hey!
- Hey, Tu!
- What's up, G?
What's up? My gosh.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
Sarge.
Dad.
You got this.
Go.
Auckland city, are you ready?
I said, Auckland
city, are you ready?!
Give it up for Steve grey!
Lauren dunningham!
And my man, Gandalf
Archer-mills!
In our first battle, we
have last year's winners.
Please give it up for K-crew!
Up against neon faction!
Let the battle begin!
Breakin' all these hos.
Takin' names is why I'm doing it.
Calling all for the broads.
But the car got two in it.
Never downplay my greatness.
Don't do so 'cause
I'm provin' it.
My advice is revise your plan.
Whatever it is, I ruined it,
started with a dollar bill.
Won't stop till I
get a hundred mil.
Then I'll build to the top,
then I'll build from the nine.
Brand-new wars that I got.
Then I prove to the
block hard top drop, drop.
Why waste time that
I really don't got?
You feeling me now?
'Cause the lord is my witness.
He's the king,
get it high, get it
I'm trying to make a
billion before I finish
I'm trying to make a
billion before I finish.
Sho' nuff.
'Cause the lord is my witness.
He's the king,
get it high, get it.
Sho' nuff.
Please give it up for K-crew!
Hey, yo.
Hey, yo.
All right, judges, most
importantly right now
we need to know
what do you think?
It's K-crew!
It's unanimous!
So, we doing this or what?
2pk against the freaks.
- But what if this doesn't...
- Bro.
It's too late for what ifs.
That's us.
We go hard, bro, no matter what.
Represent.
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
the competition is heating up.
Right about now, we're
gonna bring out 2pk!
Give it up!
Yeah, and they're
gonna be battling it out
against... give it up, y'all...
For the freaks!
Yeah, this is what
I'm talking about.
Y'all ready to get this started?
I said y'all ready
to get this started?!
Deejay, drop that beat!
Beat yourself down, down, yeah.
It's the remix.
Yeah, yeah.
Beat yourself down, down, yeah.
It ain't good.
It ain't good
'cause you get your...
I don't know anybody.
Y'all know what
this says... act right.
It's the kid coming up
next, what was on tap.
Rubbing off grass,
throwing off raps.
Off the hit skill
that'll crush cats.
But it's hard to spit
without coming off.
Never getting an assist.
Dropping off, never gonna sit.
Mouse running in cheddar
and get it all predicted.
So y'all never say.
'Cause the state won't give
me your words to play, y'all.
And I'll make your
pretties look thick.
Like you wrote it in crayon.
Let's go how many dudes you know.
Who float like this?
How many dudes you know
who float like this?
How many, if any?
I don't know anybody.
Yo, scrumptious, so give it up.
And I put the Mike down when
I pick it up, I rip it up.
So don't miss it,
everybody want to hit it.
But y'all need to breathe,
'cause we're going on.
We refuse to leave,
you can't get rid of us.
Yo, if you think I'm on
drugs, please come in the club.
And I'll be dancing by
myself like I don't give a...
What, what, dropping
the Mike and let it flow.
If you drop it as you
go for the Liberty slow
I'm hypothetical,
physically, whatever you know
I got my rhyme packed
tight and I'm ready to go
I made some mistakes in
the past that was yesterday.
Relax and take a breath, y'all.
What the...
R-R-R-Relax and
take a breath, yo.
- Hell no.
- Let's go
I'm here to stay, get
out, you're in the way.
Can I get a guess
so? Yes, yes, yo!
Man, check it out.
Yo, check it out. Check it out.
Ain't no one like me.
Man, check it out.
Check it out, check it out.
Ain't no one like me, like me.
How many dudes you know
who float like this?
How many dudes you know
who float like this?
How many, if any?
How many, if any?
How many dudes you know
who got the skills to go.
And rock a show like this?
I don't know anybody.
Please give it up for seven.
Forget them.
Holy shit. Thank you very much.
Peace!
All right, for the
first time in history,
it seems like two crews
have merged together.
I don't know what the official
word is on that, judges.
Seems like it's cool with
them. It's cool with me.
All right, moving on
to the next round is...
Make some noise for
the new crew, 2-freaky!
Yeah!
2-freaky, 2-freaky!
Yeah, 2-freaky!
Yeah, 2-freaky!
Did you see their faces?
Sniped them-stealth as.
Nailed it, bro.
Hold up. Hold up.
We just took a risk.
It paid off, but
if we can improve
in more than just
a one-dance window,
we have to bring it.
Whoever we've got next is
gonna want it just as bad as us.
So we'll take them down...
Then take K-crew down.
Easy as.
"Easy as"?
Stolen moves aside,
K-crew's last hit was fire,
and they just came on top.
Forget them.
This isn't about them.
It's about us working together
and making our own breaks.
- Straight.
- Up.
Let's take it one
round at a time?
Bro, you know they
might actually do it?
What?
- Make it to finals.
- So what?!
Are you scared?
Do you remember the
last time we lost?
'Cause I don't, either.
So we win today.
No matter what.
Aw, yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we have our final four!
Of course, K-crew, infamous,
eminence, and 2-freaky!
First up, though, we got
K-crew versus eminence.
Let's go!
Give it up for K-crew,
three-time world champions!
K-crew, smash up the place.
K-crew.
All right, so, what
do our judges think?
It's unanimous! K-crew!
You're up next! Come
on, come on, come on!
-Coming to the stage right about, 2
-freaky
battling up against infamous!
This is you going all-in?
Too bad it won't be enough.
Tu.
Leave it.
- You ready?
- Let's go.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
I know y'all seein'
that we back again
I know y'all seein'
that we back again
I know y'all seein'
that we back again
I know y'all, I know

Shoot, you can't keep up.
Say it again we

Shoot, you can't keep up.
Say it again we
stompin' on your mom.
Shoot, you can't keep up.
Say it again we
stompin' on your mom.
Shoot, you can't keep up, whoo!
Chica-chica-bang,
chica-chica-boom
I'm lookin' at the paper,
checkin' on my, yeah.
Think I want to spend the
cash on a trip to the moon
I might be the first,
but we really don't know.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
Chica-chica-bang,
chica-chica boom
I'm lookin' at the paper,
checking on my, yeah.
Think I want to spend the
cash on a trip to the moon
I might be the first,
but we really don't know.
Hey, hey, hey.
Chica-chica bang,
chica-chica boom
I'm lookin' at the paper,
checkin' on my, yeah.
Think I want to spend the
cash on a trip to the moon
I might be the first,
but we really don't know.
Don't know.
Hey, hey, hey.
Yo, please give
it up for infamous!
We're infamous.
Infamous.
Well, that was a
tough round, for real.
Let's see what we got.
We got a 2-freaky.
We got an infamous.
And the winner of this
round... 2-freaky!
Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi!
What up, fairy?
You know we're gonna kick
your ass tonight, right?
Bitch, please. Don't touch.
What the hell, brant?
You're so tough.
You think I've never
had to deal with idiots
like you before?
You think you're the man?
Prove it on the floor.
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
let's hear it for
our two finalists...
Last year's winners...
K-crew...
And of course, the
news, the challengers.
Make some noise for 2-freaky!
All right, people,
if y'all are ready
to get this battle started,
let me hear you say, "ho
- ho...
- You all done?*
you sent him to beat
up tino, didn't you?
What is wrong with you?
Shut your mouth.
I'm making sure my crew wins.
Let the battle begin!
It's not worth it. I'm out.
We don't need her.
No mistakes.
She came to see you yesterday.
She wanted to say she was sorry.
It doesn't change what she did.
Like you've never
made mistakes before?
At least she was trying
to make things right.
Snap.
That was one of the
illest performances
in the history of
this whole competition.
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
let's hear it for K-crew!
I just wanted to tell
you how sorry I am.
And good luck out there.
Right about now,
taking to the stage...
It's your time to shine.
It's your turn to burn.
Please, ladies and gentlemen,
please give it up for 2-freaky!
How freaky?!
2-freaky!
What a finish, but, judges,
what we all want to know
right now is what
are the final scores.
Won't leave you behind
I'll carry you through
I'll stand by your side
nothing we cannot do.
Representing us at the
world championships...
And that's new champions...
2-freaky!
Give it up! Give it up!
Yeah!
Let me hear you say,
"2-freaky, 2-freaky!"
I am with you
I'll be with you.
Don't be afraid.
We can start again.
You can stand.
You will rise.
You can start again.
You can start again.
You can start again
2-Freaky!
I'll hold you close.
You can stand.
You will rise.
You can start again
I will be your anchor
I will not be moved.
Your burdens are lifted.
Out of you.
Now, you opened my eyes
to reclaim this life
I was drowning at sea
until you rescued me.
So come on, babe,
to the battlefield
I will be your armor.
The sword and shield.
We will rise again.
With our broken wings.
We will learn to fly
where our souls are free.
With every door that closes in.
Don't be afraid to start again
I am with you
I'll be with you.
Don't be afraid.
We can start again
I'll hold you
close, you can stand.
We can stand.
You will rise,
you can start again.
You will start again
you will start again.
You will start again
you will start again.
You will start again
you will start again.
Start, start.
Ag-A-A-A-Ain.
'Cause you will start again.
You can stand.
You will rise.
And you will start again.
Yeah
I'll hold you close.
You can stand.
You will rise.
You can start again.
Start again.
Start again.
New on the scene, the ocean mean.
Ain't no crown but she the queen.
Dreads been locked since 17.
Tryin' to hit the
jackpot, slot machine.
We go down.
We cruisin', we rollin'
But when we hit the scene,
best believe we got it goin'
Number-one girl
in the game, what?
Been lifting, gonna
bring the flame.
Boy, what's your claim to fame?
I got to play in the
game, never be the same
I got to tell you, boy.
What, other girls
that's cool like me.
Told 'em all they
ain't roll like me.
Schooled 'em all, they
ain't enrolled like me.
Fake girls, nah,
they know Jess b.
Unh, go on, jump ahead.
See 1,000 hands,
wanna pump and hit.
You girls all fine,
Donald trump your heads.
Set it off, set it off,
don't bump your head.
Bounce, make you break your neck.
So all you homies
better learn respect.
Check-mate, homey,
like my fist connects.
Car crash slow, get
ahead, get wrecked.
Get wrecked.
Everybody wanna
cruise with a crew.
Can't do what I do, make
'em all go "boo-hoo".
She come through
as socks on a tutu.
Wanna spill your brains
out, like I shoot you.
His head is like a
voodoo, they all cuckoo.
Middle finger up
means "screw you".
Let the bee hit your kung-fu,
I'm gonna dunk on a player.
Haven't figured
that I shoot hoops.
Just be banging like
a drummer, though.
Got heat in the kitchen
in the summer, though.
It's that red-hot-spot flow,
tight like a fresh knot,
Blocked the shot, guess
you got to ball so hard.
Got me thinking that
you're gonna blow.
Flow so tight, so
tight like a dreaded fro.
Chicks so sick, so
sick, no medic, bro.
Done sweaty for a minute,
giddy as you're ready, go.
Gotta grip, fall, slip,
fall, pick up your bottom.
Lift before you trip-fall,
Gotta grip, fall, slip,
fall, pick up your bottom.
Lift before you trip-fall
I'm so on
I'm so wrong
I'm so lit
I'm so gone.
New on the scene, the ocean mean.
Ain't no crown but she the queen.
Dreads been locked since 17.
Tryin' to hit the
jackpot, slot machine.
We go down.
We cruisin', we rollin'
But when we hit the scene,
best believe we got it goin'
Number-one girl
in the game, what?
Been lifting, gonna
bring the flame.
Boy, what's your claim to fame?
I got to play in the
game, never be the same
I got to tell you, boy.

They're mean as.
You're obsessed

Those rich "north shore bitches"

Only 'cause I wasn't

What do you think?
Hey, yeah, maybe we could,

About to do this, and

Keen for a feed?
No. Eating with my dad.
All right. You sure?
Yep.
Oi! Don't forget
the battle tonight.
Whatever, mum.
Hey, you off home?
No. I got to go study.
Meet at yours at 7:00?
Yeah. Later, loser.
Rude.
For the land of the long white.
And my mom for the whole flight.
Yeah, just a small-town
kid with the midas touch.
Trying to make some memories
before the time is up.
And it's all
I feel so good today
I feel so good today.
Son...
How was your day?
Same as yesterday.
You're done with school.
What are your plans
after the summer?
I don't know?
Hey, I got the job
at the warehouse.
- Recycling plastic.
- It's work.
Heaps of people around
here don't even have jobs.
I promised your mother you'd
make something of yourself,
and that's why I've decided
if you don't have a better
plan after the summer...
You're joining the army.
- What?
- You heard me.
You got six weeks to decide what
you're gonna do with your life.
- That's bullshit.
- Watch your mouth.
Look, I know the army
isn't a flash life,
but this is something
you can be proud of.
Oi! Loser, we're gonna be late.
Coming.
Sarge, the army's your thing.
If you don't find
something better,
it'll be your thing, too.
Tu, hurry up!
Let's go.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Young, young sid.
Young, young, young sid, ho.
Young, young sid.
Young, young, young sid.
Young, young sid.
Young, young, young sid.
What's your name now?
Sidney diamond,
fresh off confinement.
Ready for assignment,
kill my rivals.
No gang beside him
I solo-ride in any province
I'm king.
North and south island,
put your hands up
I'm back.
Change the climate,
chasing climates.
Choking on a cohiba.
Sculling back Cuba libres.
Eating lots of seviche
in another time zone.
Where it's no habla ingl?
Bonita se? Rita.
Won't believe it till you see it.
Who's the freaking man now?
Recognize
I ain't need no
artist and repertoire.
Tell me... I already know.
Hey, check my own records, boy.
Boss... playa del Carmen.
Breaking the broads in, aw...
Sunshine, skin tan.
Now, that's Karma for my losses.
You see that? It's your dreams.
You can never
hold on to my seams.
Ain't no other rap cat in n. Z.
Besides one... with me.
Forget your instagrams
and your tweets
I'm out here, getting
horsed on a beach.
Yo, I'm a stylish...
Right now I bet
you wish you were me
2pk, 2pk, 2pk, 2pk, 2pk, 2pk!
Army or no army, you're
always part of the crew, cuz.
Forget that.
I am not joining the army.
What else are you gonna do?
Yo, Tu!
Check it out.
Yo!
- That's bad.
- Far out.
I'll flick you the link.
Cheers, bro.
If we want to rip
it up at regionals,
we have to start going harder.
Yeah, like that's gonna happen.
Straight up. If only
everyone just focused.
What do you care?
You're off to uni soon anyway.
Bro, I'm not going anywhere
without that scholarship.
You're brainy.
Uni-level.
You got this.
Maybe I should join the army.
What? I'd be a better
soldier than you would.
Yeah, probs.
Chin up. Sarge might
change his mind.
Not even.
See you tomorrow, loser.
Later, nerd.
We got to get you ready
for boot camp, soldier.
Rise and shine!
Up and up!
Up and up, son.
We are moving!
Life isn't a box of chocolates.
We couldn't afford
chocolates, so I had no idea.
Come on, son.
Don't let your old
man show you up.
- Hold up!
- To the top.
You'll do better tomorrow, son.
Tomorrow? What?
And every day until you enlist.
We'll find something
better to do with your life.
What if I do have something?
Recycling plastics
doesn't count, son.
- Forget it.
- Okay. Well, tell me, then.
- Hip.
- Hop.
What?
- Hip.
- Hop! Dancing!
No, mate. Nice try.
I mean a real job, Tu.
That is a real job.
People make mean money
going all around the world.
People like your
mates from work?
You think they'll make
it big anytime soon?
Moving.
This heat is bullshit.
Aw, man. There's only one damn
fan in this whole building.
Got any sprays?
Yeah, in the back pocket.
- Bro.
- What?
Don't tell me you're
holding at work.
I'm not holding at work.
I'm not gonna leave it at home.
My auntie would thrash
me with a jandal.
Well, are you
using that or what?
Look at this place, man.
Yo, are you Tu kaea?
It depends.
Who's asking?
You might want to check
that attitude, bro.
- Bro!
- Brant, relax.
We didn't come all this
way to start trouble.
We saw your clip.
- Not bad.
- Thanks.
Kane thinks you have what
it takes to join our crew.
I...
I've already got a crew.
So we've come all
this way for nothing?
Hey...
Can I think about it?
- This is a one.
- Time offer.
Studio's on the north shore.
Address is on the site.
Be there at 4:00
or don't bother.
Hope to see you there.
Who was that?
Bro, you're not
gonna believe it.
That was K-crew.
- Real?! Like the k.
- Crew?
- The k.
- Crew.
They want me to audition, man.
Should I do it?
Hell yes! This
could be it for you!
This could be your chance
to get out of this place
and to do it big.
I don't know.
Look, imagine you're me
and your best
mate just got given
the opportunity of a
lifetime dropped in his lap.
Now, what would
you tell him to do?
What do I tell the others?
- Nothing.
- But Vonnie.
Vonnie don't need to know.
No one needs to know, not
till they need to know.
Yeah. I guess you're right.
I know I'm right, and so do you.
K-crew.
It's there. Pretty mean.
Sort of get in early, get
out early kind of thing?
I've been working with kids
on their school holidays
for 20 years,
and no one's ever wanted to
start their shift earlier.
Since my dad's got me up
at the ass crack of dawn,
I reckon I'd just start the day.
6:00 on the dot.
Don't make me regret it.
I won't.
Try and keep up, old man.
Good to see you
finally showed up, son.
Check it out, 1, 2.
Hey, yo, hey, yo
I came a long way
since back in the day.
From a teenager tryin' to
make it, rappin' this way.
Ever since I was a kid,
I had somethin' to say.
Rockin' Mikes was the dream,
I didn't care about pay
I sacrificed late nights
and goin' out with my friends.
Just to stay home alone
with my pad and my pen.
Had my eyes on my
prize, my mind on my goal.
As I carved these rhymes
out with my heart and my soul
I didn't have a cd,
all I had was a tape.
On the dole through my
flow was my only escape.
From a world where they
didn't want to see me prevail.
Don't want to see me take it all.
They'd rather see me fail.
It's like
I was down and out, struggling.
Wondered how I'm
gonna make it through
I got a dream.
All I had was a pad and a pen.
Holding on.
Wondered how.
I got a dream.
I won't let go 'cause I got...
Come on.
Thanks for coming.
Really stoked to have you here.
We've seen your footage.
You know you got the moves,
but do you have what it takes?
Behind me are the best
dancers in New Zealand,
among some of the
best in the world.
And with myself, we make up
the K-crew's national team.
Three-time world champions.
Yeah, buddy.
You have six weeks
before regionals
to show us what you got.
You show us you got the k-factor,
you're in K-crew.
But if you're ever late or you
don't show up, I will cut you.
I don't care if you're sick.
I don't care if you have jobs.
Either we're your
priority or we're not.
And if we're not, leave now.
All right then.
Brant, take them through.
All right, guys, we're
doing basic choreography.
Here we go. Music. Let's do it.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
It's close.
But for it to work, you have to
do it just like everyone else.
Watch me.
Better.
So, you know everyone here?
Kind of. I know
of everyone here.
What's her story?
Sasha?
Moved over last year.
Been repping out
competitions ever since.
Moved from where?
New York.
- Is she with Kane?
- Better believe it.
Off-limits, Romeo.
Yo, you guys both made it in.
Next session's tricks, though.
Sweet. Thanks, brant.
- Trick.
- Whatever.
You fellas got a beef?
Let's just say
not everyone is as comfortable
with my sexuality as I am.
- What a dick.
- I'm used to it.
Hater's gonna hate.
I bet they're gonna
work us like dogs
to get us ready for regionals.
Woof, woof.
Tu.
Tu, come on. Wake up.
Thanks.
Bro, they've got
a massive studio...
All these mirrors,
locker room, showers.
Sweet setup.
So party on the
north shore, is it?
Nah. We'll party on the
shore if I make the crew.
So when do you find that out?
Six weeks of auditions.
Six weeks?
Oi.
Is Phil all good with you
working half days that long?
I'm here at 6:00,
opening up shop.
Look at you?
Can you flip me the key
so I can hustle some green?
Uncle Tucker's been
bugging me for a new spot.
This place is busy,
but low-key it is
and heaps of places
to stash my stuff.
Just 'cause I ain't
gonna dob you
doesn't mean I'm
gonna help you out.
Yeah, yeah.
But I'm serious about a
party on the shore, though.
Put a little brown
in browns bay.
Got the "little" part right.
Go from this last part.
Smash it out. 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Go 1 and 2 and 3 and ta.
Ta, ta, ta, ta,
ta, ta, boom, ka.
- Yes?
- Okay, all good.
Practice that. Take a break.
We'll come back to it.
Crew not good enough
for you anymore, docks?
Yeah, my auntie said that
she seen you on the bus
going to the north shore.
What's up with that, man?
Yeah...
Are you gonna tell
them, or should I?
What? Tell them what?
Gather around.
- What's happening?
- I've got an announcement.
Benjy, don't.
What's up?
On me.
Tu's in love with a shore girl.
Sad, but true.
- It's nothing serious.
- Nothing serious?
Hell, she got this
maori catching a bus
for three hours two days a week.
What?
Boy's whooped!
- This boy's wet!
- Yeah.
Well...
When a rich, white
girl call for him
lord!
Take a break.
He got to ride that
bus to the north shore.
Yeah!
If he want it,
he got to ride it
so he can wine it
baby, baby
if he want it, he got to ride it.
Benjy, what?
So he can grind it baby, baby
if you want it, you got to
ride it till you can grind it.
- See you fellas later.
- Peace.
Bro, stop stalling.
You've got to...
Hey, Tucker, it's Benjy.
What?!
Yo, Tu!
"G," do you remember
that video I made of you?
Yeah.
That's had 20,000 views.
Yo.
I don't think your head's
allowed to get any bigger.
It's ugly enough already.
Yo, Tu. Tu, can I talk to you?
Yeah.
Alone?
What are you up to you?
Don't you worry about
what we're up to.
Get home before
you get in trouble.
Whatever, ball sack.
Come, Ceejay.
The girls are having
a heart-to-heart.
Bro, my uncle's
place just got raided.
I really need your key.
What? No.
Bro, I just need it for tonight.
Then I'll give it straight back.
- I could lose my job, man.
- I know.
I wouldn't ask if
this wasn't legit.
Tucker's on me hard.
So...?
Did I help you before?
Yeah, but...
So two-way street, bro.
I'm serious, Tu. I need this.
I want it back tomorrow.
Tomorrow, first thing.
Thanks, man.
Yeah, yeah. See you.
Nice, Conrad.
Jase.
Show you how it's done.
Keep him in the middle,
team! Let's go!
Wallin' on it
let's take it up a notch.
Brant, Andrew.
Wa, wa, wallin' on it.
Wa, wallin'
We got any pairs in the house?
- Yo.
- Yo.
Twins, bro. Twins.
Madison, give me some queen bee.
Yeah!
We got any girls left?
Yeah. Tino's left.
Brant, that's enough.
- All right.
- Sophie.
No.
I got this.
Sasha, your turn.
Tu, what you got?
Top that?
What's the holdup?
So, won these today.
Not really my style.
What are you on about?
These kicks are choice.
Turns out you have some tricks.
A couple.
I seen you guys jam before.
Didn't know you
could dance like that.
Well, ballet really
isn't Kane's thing.
Probably 'cause he can't
lift his leg up that high.
True.
But he does know how
to win championships.
Anyway, I'm out.
A'ight.
Check you out, girl.
See you next week?
A'ight.
Out of the trenches!
Son.
Let me see your war face!
Outside for stretches!
Move it, move it, move it!
I got the new world in my view.
On my journey I pursue
I'm running.
Running for the city
I got the new world in my view.
They ain't got muscle, no hustle.
No backbone, I stand alone.
Not trippin', just
sayin' I'm different.
Ain't hangin' on to the
coattails of the next man.
Passport in my left hand.
Thinkin' that you are next.
Heck, hope you ain't
holding your breath, man.
'Cause I'm out here.
Boom, boom.
Ain't had this much drive
since my Honda civic got rusty.
You should leave.
See ya.
Run it again.
Spoiled it on me
like Willie beanie.
Sip it for me like cappuccino
Instagram and tuxedos
with my peoples.
We growin' up.
Still the scene of us slowin' up.
Tense wall we throwin' up.
Every time, we be showin' up.
Get it while I'm livin'
Up, up, up.
See them?
So I'm 'bout my business.
And I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
I'm runnin' with them now.
They don't wanna give it up.
We gonna make it out.
Hey. I'm almost done. I promise.
You're breaking in?
- No, I.
- I got a key. I got once cut.
So you involve me
in this bullshit now.
- No.
- No, no, no, no.
I can't believe you!
Piss off, Benjy!
Get that shit out of here.
I've been.
Feelin' a little lonely.
Okay, stop playing around.
Not until you teach me
some of your fancy moves.
Okay, you're not
taking it seriously.
Excuse me?
I'm trying to broaden my
dance horizons, a'ight?
Okay.
I see you inside my daydreams.
Do you want to try some lifts?
Sure.
Okay. I'm gonna run to you.
Turn around. Face this way.
Okay.
I'm gonna run, put my leg here,
and you're gonna wrap
your arm around my body,
and you're gonna flip
me over your shoulder.
This shoulder?
Like superman.
- Like superman?
- Yeah.
- Use those muscles.
- Yo.
- Okay, ready? Try it slow.
- Yeah.
5, 6, 7, 8.
1, 2, 3, grab, pull forward.
So... not there!
No, okay. Again?
Yeah, yeah, okay.
You want to try running into it?
- Sure.
- Okay.
Here we go.
1, 2, 3, 4, lift.
So close.
What do you mean,
close? That was it.
No, hold up.
Let's dance.
Pardon me.
It's no surprise.
That we ain't in heaven.
We're on the earth.
But you.
You meet me in my darkest cavern.
Can't count what you are worth.
'Cause, baby, when
the waves crash over me.
And, baby, when
the skies turn crazy.
You're the only one
I want next to me.
Me.
With every passin' second,
every drop of fallin' rain
I realize I'm lucky
to be holding you.
When my ground starts shakin'
and my bones start breakin'
I realize I'm lucky
to be holdin' you.
We ain't in a perfect world.
But you still
bring the stars out
I'm sorry.
Am I interrupting something?
Sasha was just
teaching me some lifts.
True?
How nice of you to
help our guest, Sasha.
Hey, ladies. Is that us?
- No, thanks.
- No, thanks.
Sweet. Up to you.
We're going for a
feed. Burger time.
- Bro, they so want this.
- You've got issues.
- Is everything all right at home?
- You know you want this, too.
And that's why you're single.
Aw, stop.
Tu, is that us?
Sure.
Madison kept stepping on me.
She's just not used to
dancing with hobbits.
- Shut up.
- Nah. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
So, do you guys, like,
go out or something?
No. She's my sister.
- Shane.
- Don't worry, "G."
I used to think they
were dating, too.
Bro, I thought she was
totally out of your league.
Can you not be awkward?
Hey, 'cause you're
pretty all right.
No, really. Just stop.
So, how'd it go with brant?
It was tough, man.
I mean, I hit him
with my best stuff,
but if I couldn't
make it look K-crew,
then he doesn't want
to know about it.
I mean, you're the îsh
and everybody knows it.
And if we can't dance like
them, then chk, chk, chk, chk...
Get the K-crew cut.
I'm not a stalker or anything.
I just saw the lights on.
It's all good.
Working on something new?
No, just conditioning.
Hey, we all good earlier?
I hope I didn't get
you in trouble with...
No, no.
It's totally my fault.
Kane doesn't really
like us messing around
during rehearsals.
It's all right to have
a little bit of fun.
Yeah.
You hungry?
Starving.
Welcome to my home.
Far out.
You sure your olds
won't be mad I'm here?
No. Dad's in China for business,
and mom still lives in New York.
So you got this whole
place to yourself.
Pretty much.
I hope quinoa salad's okay.
Sounds good.
How is it?
Yum.
You liar.
Hey, can I ask you something?
Sure.
Do you ever ask yourself
if it's worth it?
If what's worth it?
All the things that we
do to win, to be the best.
Of course it's worth it.
Why?
'Cause dance is everything.
To dance with the best.
Man, I'd do anything to
be in K-crew with you.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
I'd be living the dream.
I don't know about dream.
Hey, beats joining the army.
The army?
Dad's thing.
Family tradition.
Sucks.
And your mom?
She's not around anymore.
This your mom?
She's the real deal.
Yeah, well, she's only agreed
to this whole hip-hop phase
'cause K-crew's doing so well.
Second we stop winning...
You sure I can't take you home?
Yeah.
'Cause you're driving
all wrong for a 'cuda.
Really?
Yep. You got to roll
the windows down.
- Check.
- And you got to ride low.
Like this?
No. Like this.
And you got to
turn the music up.
What's up?
Don't judge me.
You got to pump it.
I wouldn't want
to embarrass you.
I don't know
anybody around here.
Turn it up, turn it up.
That somebody loves you.
Somebody thinks you
got a halo above you.
He thinks you're wonderful.
He thinks you're beautiful.
In everything you do.
Somebody loves you.
He wants to tell you
every time you're near.
We can't.
Somebody loves you.
Somebody loves you.
He's right here
I know.
Auger broke.
I opened it up and
already clocked you in.
Move your ass!
Thanks.
I won't be long.
Hey, sorry about last night.
We're gonna be late.
How we all feeling?
Hey, congrats on
making it this far.
But this is just the beginning.
We're going up a level.
We're doing three days a week.
- Sweet?
- Yeah.
Pair up.
Tu, you're with me.
I just want you to
be honest with me.
What's up?
Are you still serious
about being in my crew?
Of course I am.
Then, why are you holding back?
Well, most of my moves
aren't your style.
True. Your moves
are messy as hell.
I could fix it.
It just looks like you
don't want to dance with us.
- What? No. I do.
- I get it.
You see my nice ride,
my private studio.
You think I come from money?
Bro, I come from pommy,
straight-up ghetto trash.
I know what it's like
to come from nothing.
Everything I have now
I got from dancing.
And I got it 'cause I'm all-in.
- So what if I go all.
- In but it's not enough?
That's on you.
But if you don't go all-in,
I'll cut you... tonight.
Tu, you're a solid dancer,
and I really want you
to make it into K-crew.
- Tell me what to do, then.
- Bring your "a" game.
So when do we start?
Hey.
What did he say?
Well, what did you guys do?
- You're so his favorite.
- You're so his favorite.
- Clue us up.
- Clue us up.
Whoa, sis. Let the man breathe.
No, but honest,
what did Kane want?
Nothing. He just wanted to talk.
So you guys just talked?
- Jammed a little set.
- Hey!
- What?
- So he danced with you?
He wants me to come up
with a K-crew style set
- and show him next time.
- Sweet!
So at least one of us is in.
The way I see it,
the best dancers they could
pick are standing right here.
That's right!
- Yo!
- Yo!
- K-crew!
- K-crew!
She must be some girl to have
you dancing in the street.
You're out late.
I got the scholarship.
Straight up?
- For real?
- For real.
I'm going to uni.
That's mean, Von!
- Yeah?
- Hell yeah!
I always knew you'd crack it.
Yeah, I know you did.
And you never listen to me.
Yeah, 'cause most of
what you say is stupid.
You know that means I'll
have to leave the crew
when school starts.
You'll be around for regionals.
Yeah, but after that...
I'm gonna tell the crew
at practice tomorrow.
Go to bed, loser.
Whatever. You're the one
hanging around like a creep.
Creep? Aw, shut up.
'Night.
You're home late.
Again.
Where've you been?
Was out with the boys.
You know, living it up
before I get shipped away.
Well, you kids have
got to grow up someday?
Yep.
Get some sleep.
We're up in four hours.
Any luck hooking
some shore honeys?
Bro, you can't stay
angry at me forever.
I've got to go.
You holding, G?
Hey.
Take one.
- How much?
- Just $20.
Sweet.
Got any mates?
Yep.
Got some mates downtown
who might want to
have a word with you.
Aw, shit!
Hey!
Against the wall!
Get off me!
Benjy tuhoro,
you're under arrest!
Love you! Whoo!
Hey, look at him.
- Love you!
- Yeah, boy!
I'm gonna go.
All right.
See you later, all right?
Bye.
Bye, babe.
Hey.
Twins all good?
Gadarthy got cut.
Bro, it could be
any one of us next.
You look terrible.
Bro, I can't even.
What is it?
What's up?
It's just a lot of pressure,
I need to get into K-crew.
If it's too far from karae,
you should just stay up here.
We have a spare room.
All good, bro.
I got to get home, got
to keep my old man happy,
keep my boss happy,
keep my crew happy.
You still jam with 2pk?
Well, I didn't know if this
was gonna be locked down.
And I didn't want to piss
them off over nothing.
All of us left our crews.
This is Kane's national team.
I know, man.
And it's only Tuesday.
It's Wednesday.
Man, I've got to go.
- See you tomorrow.
- If Vonnie hasn't killed me!
Von. Sorry. I got mixed
up. I'm coming now.
Practice is canceled anyway.
That's why I was
trying to call you.
What? Why?
Benjy got arrested.
We're at the warehouse.
Hurry up.
What's the haps, man?
What are you on about?
You, being late for practice.
You were a no-show today.
I've been working, man.
Ceejay said that you've
been leaving early for weeks.
Bro, regionals are
almost here, and you're blowing...
Blowing us off for some
girl on the north shore!
I thought this crew meant
more to you than that.
Bro, not even.
Then what?
I've been... trying out...
For K-crew.
- What?!
- K-crew?!
- Hey! Hey!
- Chill! Chill! Chill!
- "G."
- "G," get off me, man!
I still want to dance with
you if I don't make it!
What?! So we're
you're second choice?
- No.
- Your side crew, is it?
- I just...
- Just what?!
I'm nearly there!
I only have to make it
through one more practice
without getting cut!
So we're just supposed to wait?
Bro, who do you think
you are? Like, honestly.
Benjy's out,
and you think you can just
waste our time like that?
You have to choose.
Vonnie... you guys are my crew.
So you choose us?
No.
Tu, don't you dare
leave us like that.
- What do you want from me?!
- Why didn't you tell me?
'Cause you'd have
talked me out of it!
What?
I'm not like you, okay?
I'm not smart. I'm
not going to uni!
So, yeah, I saw a chance to
make something good of myself,
- and I took it!
- Then why didn't you just leave?
Why lie to us, make up
some girl on the shore?
I didn't make her up!
It's hard to explain.
What do you even care?
You're gone soon, anyway.
'Cause I was gonna leave
you in charge of the crew,
and I thought you
gave a damn about us.
Hey!
What're you doing here?
Coming to work.
You don't work here
anymore. You're fired.
Give me your key.
Benjy said he stole your key,
copied it, swore
you weren't involved.
Is that true?
Whatever it is you're doing...
Hope it's worth it.
All right, listen up.
Today's your last chance.
Show me how much you want this.
Pair up.
Sasha, pair up.
You know, if I make it,
you have to start
talking to me again.
Let's just dance.
5, 6, 7...
- What's wrong with you?
- Nothing.
Then why are you
making me look bad?
Today's my last chance!
Tu, this is just a
friggin' dance crew.
For you, maybe!
My whole life depends on this!
- Tu, I'm so sorry.
- No.
Can I get another
partner, please?
Run it from the top. 5, 6...
How are things at work?
It's too hard to say. You
know, same stuff every day.
You think I don't know
what a lie looks like, boy?
- What?
- Sarge...
So you know nothing
about all that dope
the cops found at
your work, then?
I'm not doing any of that stuff.
Straight up.
I was on the shore all day.
- Out there dealing?
- What? No.
Just... give it to me straight.
Tu kaea, what have
you been doing, son?
Dancing.
I'm one of the
final five in tryouts
to join the best hip-hop
crew in New Zealand.
You're joking, right?
This is it for me.
This is my break.
And what happens if
they don't take you?
What are your plans, son?
They'll take me, dad.
They'll take me.
Move it.
It's good. From the top.
All I can say is that this
is a really hard decision.
You're all mean dancers, but
K-crew can't take you all.
When I call your name, come up.
Sasha.
Brent.
Madison.
Sophie.
Conrad.
Jules.
That leaves one more, right?
Andrew.
Congrats, guys.
Everyone else...
Wait.
That's just last year's crew.
Yeah, it is.
Thanks. You can go.
Tu! Tu, wait!
What was that?!
What were you guys
doing in there?
All I saw were you guys
doing my set, my moves.
Well, technically,
they're our moves now.
- What?!
- Tu!
- Stop! Hey! Wait!
- We were never going to get in.
They just wanted
to steal our sets.
I'm a winner.
I win at all costs.
Something you should learn.
Babe, let's go.
Be right there.
Later, freaks.
How long did you know?
- Tu...
- How long?
I didn't mean for any
of this to happen, but...
But what?
You were having too much
fun in your flash car
and your flash bloody mansion,
laughing with
your stuck-up mates
about how you would trick...
You tricked me.
That's not fair.
You tricked me into
thinking I had a chance.
No, I just... I have to figure
some things out, okay?
It's too late for that.
Yo.
Hey.
You surprised me.
Just came to check on my girl.
Hey, what's wrong?
What are we doing?
What it takes.
It's wrong.
This is so wrong, Kane.
Are you questioning
how I run my crew?
- No, I just...
- You just... what?
Think you could do a better job?
I didn't say that.
I took a huge risk
letting you in my crew.
You had no hip-hop
experience, no rep, no chance.
But now look at you.
People know your name,
girls want to be you,
guys want to date you.
I made you a winner.
Now, we both know what happens
when you stop winning, right?
You go home.
I don't want you to go home.
Do you?
No.
Then be a good girl.
Keep winning.
Hey, loser.
What do you want?
I didn't make it?
It was all a lie.
They lied to me.
To bite our moves.
Forget it.
Have fun at uni!
Tu.
Bro, drop the act and harden up.
So you didn't get asked to dance
with some rich
kids from the shore.
They were my only shot!
No, no, no, no, no.
Bro, you're all
wrong. Look at me.
You are your shot.
You don't need them.
They needed you.
If they're so stale they've got
to bite other people's moves,
they already know
they're on the way out.
But you?
Tu, you got nowhere
to go but up.
- Thanks, Von.
- Whatevs.
Just remember Benjy's in jail
for being even more of
a loser than you are.
Go and see him, loser.
It's not that bad.
Great TV.
Whatever.
I'm out on probation in a week.
I ain't never coming back here.
Thanks for not narcing on me.
Bro, I put myself in here.
And what am I gonna do?
Bring you down with me?
We're all looking
for a way up, cuz.
I just looked in
the wrong place.
Yeah, me too.
Bro, you're a mean dancer.
K-crew didn't think so.
Hey, k-crew know you're one of
the best dancers in the city.
That's why they scammed
you all in the first place.
Benjy, you're a genius!
Thanks, bro!
What did I say?
- Hey.
- Yo, what's up?
- How are you?
- Good.
What's up, brother?
- Hey, what's up?
- Hey, what's up?
- Welcome to kuda.
- How are you?
- You guys are here, so I'm guessing all.
- In.
Well...
Five isn't enough for a crew.
Well, good thing I called
some mates to come help out.
- Look, there they are.
- Easy, tiger.
Nah, I'm over twins, man.
Double the trouble.
- I know the south side ones.
- Hey, guys!
Hey!
My gosh, I haven't
seen you in so long!
- Hey, how are you?
- Good.
Look, it's a nice idea, but...
They took all of our best sets.
Our meanest choreography.
They took our
best K-crew style.
K-crew dance 'cause
it's what they do.
But we dance 'cause
it's who we are.
When was the last time you
guys danced just to dance?
It's a celebration
people, get your drinks up
hey. How you doing?
Call me.
I'm finna let it, finna
let it, finna let it go
yeah, girls.
O-original, original.
You know I'm original.
We feelin' the floor
I know you're feelin the floor
I never did this before,
when I'm killin' the floor
I said I reel in the dough.
You know I reel in the dough
and I'm stealin' the show.
That's right, I'm
stealing the show.
That's why they feelin' the show
I got good energy
in all of my chakras.
Kickin' all the
bitches like soccer.
Doin' it till
death of my partners.
We gon' keep up but
they callin' us monsters
I got superstars
all up in my roster.
Shakin' off all of the imposters.
You know I bring the
fire like a roster.
You a hater, see ya later.
Bye.
'Cause I lost ya.
Bong, bong, bong, bong.
They gon' be like,
"this my song".
Send a shout to my deejay.
We gonna party all night long.
Bong, bong, bong, bong.
They gon' be like,
"this my song".
Diggy, diggy,
da-diggy-diggy-da.
Diggy, diggy, all night long.
Turn me up in my track
'cause I'm finna let it go
I'm finna let it go
I'm finna let it go,
I'm finna let it go
I'm finna let it go
I'm finna let it go,
I'm finna let it go.
How does it feel not
to be a dick anymore?
Pretty good?
You think our crews can
make it to nationals?
- It's my last chance, so I'm going all.
- Out.
You always do.
Yeah, I do, I do.
To the freaks,
the freaks, freaks!
Of course, K-crew...
Yeah!
They're off for the
nationals once again.
We cruisin', we rollin'
But when we hit the scene,
Best believe we gonna go it.
Number-one girl in the game.
White man think they
gonna bring flame.
Boy, what's your claim to fame?
All right, give it up, guys!
Yeah, give it up!
Advancing to the nationals...
2pk!
Set it off, set it off,
don't bust your head
five, six, seven eight. One,
two, three four, five, six.
Yo, yo!
You guys need to
check this, man.
Freaks made it
through regionals.
They're gonna be at nationals.
They're nothing.
Back to work.
He's not home.
Excuse me?
It's Sasha, right?
You must be Vonnie.
Yeah, and you must be dumb if
you think Tu wants to see you
after what you did to him.
Look, I know you guys are close.
He's my best friend.
You used him, you lied to
him, and you stole from him.
I know what I did was wrong.
But I really do care about Tu.
Funny way of showing it.
Is he okay?
He's tough. He's
always gonna be okay.
Look, if you really
care about Tu,
then leave him alone and let
him focus on nationals tomorrow.
Can you just please
tell him that I was here?
Yeah, whatever.
Who's that?
Just somebody after Tu.
What's the boy done now?
Don't tell me it's this
dance rubbish, either.
Don't you know?
Know what?
What's this?
Your son.
He's hit over 800,000 views.
What's up, bitches?
Look what you did.
Von!
What are you doing here?
Shouldn't you be at work?
Can't a father
give his son a lift
on the biggest day of his life?
Can you hurry up?
We're gonna be late.
Seriously?
Moving.
Where's Tu?
He should be here.
- There he is.
- Tu! Hey!
- Hey, Tu!
- What's up, G?
What's up? My gosh.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
Sarge.
Dad.
You got this.
Go.
Auckland city, are you ready?
I said, Auckland
city, are you ready?!
Give it up for Steve grey!
Lauren dunningham!
And my man, Gandalf
Archer-mills!
In our first battle, we
have last year's winners.
Please give it up for K-crew!
Up against neon faction!
Let the battle begin!
Breakin' all these hos.
Takin' names is why I'm doing it.
Calling all for the broads.
But the car got two in it.
Never downplay my greatness.
Don't do so 'cause
I'm provin' it.
My advice is revise your plan.
Whatever it is, I ruined it,
started with a dollar bill.
Won't stop till I
get a hundred mil.
Then I'll build to the top,
then I'll build from the nine.
Brand-new wars that I got.
Then I prove to the
block hard top drop, drop.
Why waste time that
I really don't got?
You feeling me now?
'Cause the lord is my witness.
He's the king,
get it high, get it
I'm trying to make a
billion before I finish
I'm trying to make a
billion before I finish.
Sho' nuff.
'Cause the lord is my witness.
He's the king,
get it high, get it.
Sho' nuff.
Please give it up for K-crew!
Hey, yo.
Hey, yo.
All right, judges, most
importantly right now
we need to know
what do you think?
It's K-crew!
It's unanimous!
So, we doing this or what?
2pk against the freaks.
- But what if this doesn't...
- Bro.
It's too late for what ifs.
That's us.
We go hard, bro, no matter what.
Represent.
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
the competition is heating up.
Right about now, we're
gonna bring out 2pk!
Give it up!
Yeah, and they're
gonna be battling it out
against... give it up, y'all...
For the freaks!
Yeah, this is what
I'm talking about.
Y'all ready to get this started?
I said y'all ready
to get this started?!
Deejay, drop that beat!
Beat yourself down, down, yeah.
It's the remix.
Yeah, yeah.
Beat yourself down, down, yeah.
It ain't good.
It ain't good
'cause you get your...
I don't know anybody.
Y'all know what
this says... act right.
It's the kid coming up
next, what was on tap.
Rubbing off grass,
throwing off raps.
Off the hit skill
that'll crush cats.
But it's hard to spit
without coming off.
Never getting an assist.
Dropping off, never gonna sit.
Mouse running in cheddar
and get it all predicted.
So y'all never say.
'Cause the state won't give
me your words to play, y'all.
And I'll make your
pretties look thick.
Like you wrote it in crayon.
Let's go how many dudes you know.
Who float like this?
How many dudes you know
who float like this?
How many, if any?
I don't know anybody.
Yo, scrumptious, so give it up.
And I put the Mike down when
I pick it up, I rip it up.
So don't miss it,
everybody want to hit it.
But y'all need to breathe,
'cause we're going on.
We refuse to leave,
you can't get rid of us.
Yo, if you think I'm on
drugs, please come in the club.
And I'll be dancing by
myself like I don't give a...
What, what, dropping
the Mike and let it flow.
If you drop it as you
go for the Liberty slow
I'm hypothetical,
physically, whatever you know
I got my rhyme packed
tight and I'm ready to go
I made some mistakes in
the past that was yesterday.
Relax and take a breath, y'all.
What the...
R-R-R-Relax and
take a breath, yo.
- Hell no.
- Let's go
I'm here to stay, get
out, you're in the way.
Can I get a guess
so? Yes, yes, yo!
Man, check it out.
Yo, check it out. Check it out.
Ain't no one like me.
Man, check it out.
Check it out, check it out.
Ain't no one like me, like me.
How many dudes you know
who float like this?
How many dudes you know
who float like this?
How many, if any?
How many, if any?
How many dudes you know
who got the skills to go.
And rock a show like this?
I don't know anybody.
Please give it up for seven.
Forget them.
Holy shit. Thank you very much.
Peace!
All right, for the
first time in history,
it seems like two crews
have merged together.
I don't know what the official
word is on that, judges.
Seems like it's cool with
them. It's cool with me.
All right, moving on
to the next round is...
Make some noise for
the new crew, 2-freaky!
Yeah!
2-freaky, 2-freaky!
Yeah, 2-freaky!
Yeah, 2-freaky!
Did you see their faces?
Sniped them-stealth as.
Nailed it, bro.
Hold up. Hold up.
We just took a risk.
It paid off, but
if we can improve
in more than just
a one-dance window,
we have to bring it.
Whoever we've got next is
gonna want it just as bad as us.
So we'll take them down...
Then take K-crew down.
Easy as.
"Easy as"?
Stolen moves aside,
K-crew's last hit was fire,
and they just came on top.
Forget them.
This isn't about them.
It's about us working together
and making our own breaks.
- Straight.
- Up.
Let's take it one
round at a time?
Bro, you know they
might actually do it?
What?
- Make it to finals.
- So what?!
Are you scared?
Do you remember the
last time we lost?
'Cause I don't, either.
So we win today.
No matter what.
Aw, yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we have our final four!
Of course, K-crew, infamous,
eminence, and 2-freaky!
First up, though, we got
K-crew versus eminence.
Let's go!
Give it up for K-crew,
three-time world champions!
K-crew, smash up the place.
K-crew.
All right, so, what
do our judges think?
It's unanimous! K-crew!
You're up next! Come
on, come on, come on!
-Coming to the stage right about, 2
-freaky
battling up against infamous!
This is you going all-in?
Too bad it won't be enough.
Tu.
Leave it.
- You ready?
- Let's go.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
I know y'all seein'
that we back again
I know y'all seein'
that we back again
I know y'all seein'
that we back again
I know y'all, I know
y'all, I know y'all.
We stompin' on your mom.
Shoot, you can't keep up.
Say it again we
stompin' on your mom.
Shoot, you can't keep up.
Say it again we
stompin' on your mom.
Shoot, you can't keep up.
Say it again we
stompin' on your mom.
Shoot, you can't keep up, whoo!
Chica-chica-bang,
chica-chica-boom
I'm lookin' at the paper,
checkin' on my, yeah.
Think I want to spend the
cash on a trip to the moon
I might be the first,
but we really don't know.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
Chica-chica-bang,
chica-chica boom
I'm lookin' at the paper,
checking on my, yeah.
Think I want to spend the
cash on a trip to the moon
I might be the first,
but we really don't know.
Hey, hey, hey.
Chica-chica bang,
chica-chica boom
I'm lookin' at the paper,
checkin' on my, yeah.
Think I want to spend the
cash on a trip to the moon
I might be the first,
but we really don't know.
Don't know.
Hey, hey, hey.
Yo, please give
it up for infamous!
We're infamous.
Infamous.
Well, that was a
tough round, for real.
Let's see what we got.
We got a 2-freaky.
We got an infamous.
And the winner of this
round... 2-freaky!
Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi!
What up, fairy?
You know we're gonna kick
your ass tonight, right?
Bitch, please. Don't touch.
What the hell, brant?
You're so tough.
You think I've never
had to deal with idiots
like you before?
You think you're the man?
Prove it on the floor.
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
let's hear it for
our two finalists...
Last year's winners...
K-crew...
And of course, the
news, the challengers.
Make some noise for 2-freaky!
All right, people,
if y'all are ready
to get this battle started,
let me hear you say, "ho
- ho...
- You all done?*
you sent him to beat
up tino, didn't you?
What is wrong with you?
Shut your mouth.
I'm making sure my crew wins.
Let the battle begin!
It's not worth it. I'm out.
We don't need her.
No mistakes.
She came to see you yesterday.
She wanted to say she was sorry.
It doesn't change what she did.
Like you've never
made mistakes before?
At least she was trying
to make things right.
Snap.
That was one of the
illest performances
in the history of
this whole competition.
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
let's hear it for K-crew!
I just wanted to tell
you how sorry I am.
And good luck out there.
Right about now,
taking to the stage...
It's your time to shine.
It's your turn to burn.
Please, ladies and gentlemen,
please give it up for 2-freaky!
How freaky?!
2-freaky!
What a finish, but, judges,
what we all want to know
right now is what
are the final scores.
Won't leave you behind
I'll carry you through
I'll stand by your side
nothing we cannot do.
Representing us at the
world championships...
And that's new champions...
2-freaky!
Give it up! Give it up!
Yeah!
Let me hear you say,
"2-freaky, 2-freaky!"
I am with you
I'll be with you.
Don't be afraid.
We can start again.
You can stand.
You will rise.
You can start again.
You can start again.
You can start again
2-Freaky!
I'll hold you close.
You can stand.
You will rise.
You can start again
I will be your anchor
I will not be moved.
Your burdens are lifted.
Out of you.
Now, you opened my eyes
to reclaim this life
I was drowning at sea
until you rescued me.
So come on, babe,
to the battlefield
I will be your armor.
The sword and shield.
We will rise again.
With our broken wings.
We will learn to fly
where our souls are free.
With every door that closes in.
Don't be afraid to start again
I am with you
I'll be with you.
Don't be afraid.
We can start again
I'll hold you
close, you can stand.
We can stand.
You will rise,
you can start again.
You will start again
you will start again.
You will start again
you will start again.
You will start again
you will start again.
Start, start.
Ag-A-A-A-Ain.
'Cause you will start again.
You can stand.
You will rise.
And you will start again.
Yeah
I'll hold you close.
You can stand.
You will rise.
You can start again.
Start again.
Start again.
New on the scene, the ocean mean.
Ain't no crown but she the queen.
Dreads been locked since 17.
Tryin' to hit the
jackpot, slot machine.
We go down.
We cruisin', we rollin'
But when we hit the scene,
best believe we got it goin'
Number-one girl
in the game, what?
Been lifting, gonna
bring the flame.
Boy, what's your claim to fame?
I got to play in the
game, never be the same
I got to tell you, boy.
What, other girls
that's cool like me.
Told 'em all they
ain't roll like me.
Schooled 'em all, they
ain't enrolled like me.
Fake girls, nah,
they know Jess b.
Unh, go on, jump ahead.
See 1,000 hands,
wanna pump and hit.
You girls all fine,
Donald trump your heads.
Set it off, set it off,
don't bump your head.
Bounce, make you break your neck.
So all you homies
better learn respect.
Check-mate, homey,
like my fist connects.
Car crash slow, get
ahead, get wrecked.
Get wrecked.
Everybody wanna
cruise with a crew.
Can't do what I do, make
'em all go "boo-hoo".
She come through
as socks on a tutu.
Wanna spill your brains
out, like I shoot you.
His head is like a
voodoo, they all cuckoo.
Middle finger up
means "screw you".
Let the bee hit your kung-fu,
I'm gonna dunk on a player.
Haven't figured
that I shoot hoops.
Just be banging like
a drummer, though.
Got heat in the kitchen
in the summer, though.
It's that red-hot-spot flow,
tight like a fresh knot,
Blocked the shot, guess
you got to ball so hard.
Got me thinking that
you're gonna blow.
Flow so tight, so
tight like a dreaded fro.
Chicks so sick, so
sick, no medic, bro.
Done sweaty for a minute,
giddy as you're ready, go.
Gotta grip, fall, slip,
fall, pick up your bottom.
Lift before you trip-fall,
Gotta grip, fall, slip,
fall, pick up your bottom.
Lift before you trip-fall
I'm so on
I'm so wrong
I'm so lit
I'm so gone.
