A Failed Rapper Finds His Beat

The video starts with the logo for ‘Shared Time’ on a black background, then fades to text on a black background explaining the project.

This fades to a close-up of a man’s face, looking off-camera, with a lip piercing and visible scarring on his face, and the text ‘failed rap’ appears beside his face.

The scene dissolves into a top-down view of a desk with headphones and CDs, and then fades to a black and white shot of a man walking away from the camera down a walkway beside a perforated metal fence.

The scene changes to a blue brick wall with graffiti and handprints, which fades into a close-up of a hand with tattoos on a tree stump.

This scene transitions to a shot of two orange traffic cones on a paved surface with railway tracks.

The view changes to two neon green chairs and then to a close-up of a tall sunflower with large green leaves against a partly cloudy blue sky. The video ends with the man from earlier looking at the camera, and the logos for ‘Pathways to Education’, ‘volunteer toronto’, ‘CENTER for DIGITAL STORYTELLING’, and ‘Ontario Trillium Foundation’ appear on a gray background.
