How We Got On by Idris Goodwin
It’s 1988 in an upper-class Midwest suburb. Teens Hank and Julian live and breathe hip-hop while their peers would rather rock. Determined to create the ultimate ‘suburban’ rap song, the duo forges ahead through unconvinced parents and the highs and lows of friendship. Full of rich, theatrical language and the poetry of everyday hopes, How We Got On takes us on an uplifting lyrical journey of dreaming big and discovering your voice.
