"BELLY"
(1998) (DMX, Nas) (R)
Tommy Brown (DMX, a.k.a. Earl Simmons ) and Sincere (Nasir "Nas" Jones) have grown up on the wild and violent streets of Queens. Part of a small gang of thieves whose members have gotten rich by knocking off strip joints and other establishments, these older teens have no fear of the law or killing for money.
Even so, the two are starting to split in their ideological ways. Tommy, who lives in the fast lane and has no problem cheating on his girlfriend, Kisha (TARAL HICKS), while scoring hits, has recently decided to get into drug dealing after hearing of a new addictive substance now on the market.

Sincere, who's married to Tionne (TIONNE "T-BOZ" WATKINS) and has a baby girl, begins to question his criminal lifestyle and starts to think of ways to get out, and away from it. Even so, with the help of Tommy's wealthy Jamaican drug lord, Lennox (LOUIE RANKIN), the two men begin dealing drugs. With Tommy's associate, Knowledge (POWER) setting up shop in Omaha, the gang starts to make money running their interstate drug ring.

Trouble arises when Big (TYRIN TURNER), the local drug kingpin, decides he doesn't like outsiders moving in on his game. Ratting them out to the authorities, Big gets his revenge as Sincere and Tommy start feeling the heat as drug busts begin to fall all around them.

As the feds move in closer, more violence erupts on the streets, and an angry associate, Shameek (METHOD MAN) seeks revenge on Tommy for not getting him out of jail, the two friends do what they can to make things best for themselves.
