VH1's 2016 original movie "The Breaks" tells the story of three friends united by their love of hip-hop, who work to make names for themselves in the music industry. Following the film's success and fans' demands for more, a same-titled series adaptation picks up the narrative in New York City, circa 1990, to continue exploring the guys' joy and suffering during the height of rap's golden age of creativity. "The Breaks" is inspired by "The Big Payback," a 40-year history of the hip-hop business written by journalist Dan Charnas.
