Based on the New York Times’ #1 best-selling novel by Angie Thomas (The Hate U Give), On The Come Up is the feature directorial debut of Emmy-nominated actress Sanaa Lathan who also stars in the film alongside Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Cliff “Method Man” Smith, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Justin Martin, Titus Makin, Michael Cooper Jr., and GaTa with appearances from Mike Epps and Lil Yachty.

Starring newcomer Jamila C. Gray, On The Come Up is the story of gifted 16-year-old rapper Bri who attempts to take the battle rap scene by storm in order to lift up her family and do right by the legacy of her father–a local hip hop legend whose career was cut short by gang violence.
