This Is the Life

"This Is the Life" is a documentary that explores the rise of the Good Lifers, a group of alternative hip-hop artists who started a movement in Los Angeles in the late 1980s. Rejecting the gang culture that dominated the city's hip-hop scene, they created a thriving community of eclectic young MCs who shared their passion for music and their desire for something more. Through their open mic nights at a health food café, they developed a unique sound and style that would go on to influence hip-hop worldwide. The film chronicles their historic legacy and the impact they had on shaping the artform.
