First Family of Hip Hop

Leland wants to sit back while the publishing checks roll in. The younger generation is racing to get their own piece of the pie. The Robinsons will discover just how far they are willing to go in order to regain their spot on the throne of hip-hop.

Drama continues to follow the Robinson family as Leland struggles to assert his role as boss in the face of challenges with the younger generation. Darnell’s argument with Eseni and club-hopping quest to find Sugarhill’s next big artist lands him in the hospital. LeA gets the family together for a cookout without Lady Luck. Luck feels increasingly sidelined from her collaboration with LeA. She’s got the vocals but Luck’s got experience, contacts, a proven track record...and a bone to pick.

A talk with rapper Raekwon lights a fire under Rhondo to show he's the heir to the Sugarhill throne, while Leland's friend Biz Markie champions that the kids are the future of the company. Darnell tries to pitch Leland new ideas for Sugarhill that lead to him to being kicked out of the office. A sit-down between Lady Luck and LeA quickly explodes into a she-said-she-said screaming match. Meanwhile, Lelo heads to court wondering if he will come out again and Lady Luck talks to her lawyer about finally getting everything she’s owed.

Darnell splurges to prove his love to Eseni. Leland attempts to unite the Robinsons by throwing a family basketball game, but his hope for family harmony is short-lived when Shanell and Darnell faceoff. The rift between LeA and Shanell deepens as they each plot the next step in their careers without the other.

Leland makes LeA an offer. Rhondo rallies the rest of the men to confront Big Lee with their concerns about how he's running Sugarhill Records. Darnell and Eseni have another huge blow up, pushing Leland to draw the line with his son and Eseni to take a pregnancy test. Shanell plots her next move to relaunch her career.

With the family imploding, Leland attempts to smooth things over. He confronts Shanell about her betrayal of Rhondo, and after Darnell refuses to leave the house, Big Lee takes action. While Shanell debuts her album to music industry execs, Rhondo tries to get Darnell on board with being part of his presentation to Leland. And a family outing brings tension between Rhondo, LeA and Shanell to a head.
