It focuses on siblings Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory and also Terry "Southwest T" Flenory, who with each other took their vision beyond the medication trade and also right into the globe of hip-hop. The dramatization, per Starz, will narrate concerning love, family members and also commercialism in the quest of the American dream.
