  • Pack your bags for a fast and funny hip-hop road trip from the hit-making producers of HOUSE PARTY! When an outrageous busload of wanna-be rappers from Harlem hits the highway following promises of fame and fortune, they end up having the misadventure of a lifetime! Crammed into a ratty old bus and given only 24 hours to make it to Miami, either they'll make it big ... or they're making a big mistake! With a hot cast -- featuring Malik Yoba (SOUL FOOD, COP LAND), Melissa De Sousa (THE BEST MAN), and Cedric the Entertainer (THE ORIGINAL KINGS OF COMEDY, BIG MOMMA'S HOUSE) -- and a sizzling soundtrack featuring the Wu-Tang Clan, Onyx, and Naughty By Nature -- it's laugh-out-loud entertainment! So hop aboard and get ready to party while you enjoy the ride!
