Feel the Noise

Feel The Noise follows the familial and professional struggles of wannabe rapper Rob (Omarion Grandberry), who gets into trouble and is shipped off to Puerto Rico to live with his long-absent father, Roberto (Giancarlo Esposito). Sulky Rob perks up when he meets Javi (Victor Rasuk), who offers marijuana, admiration, and entrée into the local reggaeton clubs. When Rob spots dancer C.C. (Zulay Henao) on stage he's smitten, but he's not the only one with designs on C.C. She has both a nasty ex-boyfriend and a new admirer, the plainly odious music producer Jeffrey (James McAffrey). When Jeffrey says he wants to introduce C.C. to \"artists' agents,\" she believes him and convinces Rob and Javi to come with her to New York. What comes next is disappointment, betrayal, frustration, and miscommunication. Rob resents Roberto, grows jealous of Jeffrey, and can't quite figure out how to deal with C.C.'s ex-boyfriend. Lucky for him, a neighborhood dealer named \"the Mayor\" (Malik Yoba) takes up Rob's cause back in Puerto Rico, ensuring that the bad guy gets what he deserves and clearing the way for Rob's return to NYC. Now Rob gets to be both Rican and native, performing during the Puerto Rican Pride Parade, mixing reggaeton with hip-hop, and reuniting with both his estranged dad and his estranged girlfriend without having to do much work at all.
