Shawna and Mia are former high school friends from Miami who have recently reconnected. Shawna has bars, evidenced by minor early success, but hasn’t quite found that jen se qua that sets her apart from the rest, plus some of her rhymes aren't all of that Mia on the other hand is a single mother with a boisterous personality that she combines with sex appeal to survive everyday life.
ADVERTISEMENT Jonica Booth appears as Chastity, the duo’s friend and wannabe music manager who might not be as slick as she thinks she is. Former BUST boy du jour Jaboukie White-Young makes appearances as Shawna’s ex-producer who has blown up by selling out as does DomiNque Perry who plays one of Mia’s homegirls, who just doesn’t get Shawna and Mia’s rekindled friendship.
As the series goes on we see the two tackle misogyny from the industry and those around them, Mia for example, is an online sex worker and faces discrimination accordingly. Shawna's long-distance bae Cliff, played by Devon Terrell is less than thrilled with the changes Shawna is making, especially with him being in law school at all.
