 Synopses for Slam (1998)
1.Young Ray Joshua is arrested when his drug dealer is shot while talking to him. Once imprisoned, he is fought over by two rival gangs. He retaliates through words.   

2.  All In Line For A Slice Of Devil Pie.

The unanimous winner of the 1998 Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, "Slam" is a "coming to life" ghetto tale of a street pharmacist/aspiring rapper who finds salvation in his rhymes. Trapped in Dodge City, a drug-infested war zone in southeast Washington D.C., Ray Joshua gets caught up in a drug deal gone bad and is sucked into the criminal justice system. In jail, he finds truth in himself and his craft through Lauren Bell, a beautiful and charismatic writing teacher who leads him to the path of salvation. Using his talent for poetic rap, Ray learns to survive and rise above the pain of his lost generation. Features new music by Big Punisher, Busta Rhymes, Q-Tip, Ol' Dirty Bastard & Coolio, KRS-One and more.
