It's like the "High School Musical" (2006) for hip-hop.
Other than that it's pretty formulaic of a "be yourself" and "don't be afraid to go for your dream" movie. The soundtrack boasts it's own success peaking at #1 on Billboard's top rap albums and top kids albums. This who enjoy hip-hop-that is teen hip-hop-will enjoy this movie more as large segments are devoted to the numbers. More than anything this movie is about the soundtrack. The film follows a shy, talented musician who pens romantic hip-hop verses only to stand idly by as theyre delivered to the girl of his dreams by a proxy, his best friend. The plot is a little thicker with the fact the Roxy grew up with the two boys as part of Cyrus' father's church congregation, a man who opposes rap as a sinful form of music. A teenage rapper must use his musical talent to battle his nemesis and win the girl of his dreams. They tell Roxie Cyrus is his DJ so that Cyrus can be part of the journey and so that he is near Kris at all times. With Tyler James Williams, Coco Jones, Trevor Jackson, Toni Winzy-Cutno. The two concoct outlandish plans to keep up the charade.
Kris is so excited about the opportunity to work with Roxie, the promoter of the competition, Cyrus goes along with the mistake. When Cyrus includes a photo of the both of them together with his submission to a songwriting competition under the pseudonym Truth, when he wins it's assumed Kris is Truth. In "Let it Shine" Cyrus has all the talent of a would-be rap artist, whereas his best friend Kris doesn't have the talent, but has the perfect look. It is the classic case of two friends where one friend helps another friend out by letting the other take credit of their work or talent. Its hokey plot is nothing that hasn't been done before in many episodes of various sitcoms. This movie is everything you would expect out of a made for TV Disney movie.
