Brother Movie Clip - Plot synopsis: Adapted from David Chariandy’s award-winning novel of the same name, Brother is propelled by the pulsing beats of Toronto's early hip hop scene following the story of Francis (Lamar Johnson) and Michael (Aaron Pierre), sons of Caribbean immigrants maturing into young men. A mystery unfolds during the sweltering summer of 1991, and escalating tensions set off a series of events that change the course of these brothers' lives forever. Brother crafts a timely story about the profound bond between siblings, the resilience of community and the irrepressible power of music.

01:13 It's been a long time.
01:15 I shouldn't have left you without a strong rhyme and step
01:18 to.
01:19 Think of how many weeks you'll just slept through.
01:21 Time's up.
01:22 I'm sorry I kept you.
01:23 Thinking of this, you keep repeating your miss.
01:25 The rhyme from the microphone solo.

01:41 So, dot text the tempo like a red alert.
01:44 Register reflex and let it work.
01:46 When this is playing, you can't get stuck with the steps.
01:49 So just say it, and I'm going to still come up with it.
01:51 I get to be swift.
01:52 Follow the leader.
01:53 I'm going deaf with the record that was mixed a long time ago.
01:55 It could be done, but only I could do it.
01:58 For those that can dance it, clap your hands to it.
