Double bill of hard-hitting dramas. 'Notorious' (2009) is a biopic detailing the tragic life of Christopher Wallace, otherwise known as the American rapper Notorious B.I.G. Directed by George Tillman Jr, the story traces the life of Wallace (Jamal Woolard) as he fights his way up through the mean streets of Brooklyn, transforming himself in the space of a few years from a hustling nobody into one of the most influential rap artists of his generation. As his influence on hip hop grows, a fierce rivalry develops between his New York brand of rap and that of the Los Angeles-based rapper Tupac Shakur (Anthony Mackie), a feud that will have tragic consequences for all involved. 'Adulthood' (2008) is the sequel to the British drama 'Kidulthood'. Six years after killing Trife, Sam Peel (Noel Clarke) is released from prison. He is soon confronted by those he hurt before his incarceration. Some have carried on with their lives, while others are still having to deal with the repercussions of Sam's actions that night. As he struggles to deal with his feelings of guilt, Sam soon finds his life threatened by a group of youths out for revenge for Trife's murder.
