story of four young men that ex­
plores the dangerous side of coming
of age on the streets of Harlem.

Khalil Kaln, Jermaine Hopkins, and
Tupac Shakur.
In the film, best friends Q (Quin­
cy), Bishop, Raheern, and Steel have
theirwho lives ahead of them, but in
the tough world they call home. fun
and danger exist uneasily side-by­
side and violence is powerfully
seductive. While Q, a talented DJ,
dreams of a future beyond the neigh­
borhood, his friends are more con­
cerned with getting on top.
Without 'juice' (respect) they
have no status on the streets.
Remaining loyal to' his friends who
dabble in small-time crime, Q is an
unwilling participant, when their ac­
tions abruptly escalate into killing
and the resulting paranoia.
An integral part of "Juice's" story
is the use of music. Dickerson turned
turned to the talents of noted Public
Enemy and Icc Cube producer, Hank
Shocklee.
"One of the things I like about
Public Enemy is the layeredsound,"
says Dickerson. "I was thinking it
would be great to have that kind of
music in my movie and I figured who
is better to give us that sound but
Hank Shocklee."
Shccklee gathered some of the
rap and R&B world's best talentts for ..
the "Juice" soundtrack in an effort to
create the different ound Dickerson
wanted.

regarded as one of the key figures in
the rise of rap and hip-hop- music.
Shocklee asscmbcled the talents of
his brother Kei th Shockelee, G- Wiz,
Plaz-tic Man and Chuck D. of Public -
Enemy for the film's score.
