About Back to Ballin'
Riding high on a steady string of hits, rapper Lil' Troy (playing himself) is quickly amassing a hip-hop empire. But someone seems eager to bring about the fall of Troy, and soon a traitor infiltrates the entourage. Meanwhile, Troy struggles with looking after his nephew, who's become deeply enamored with the bling-bling lifestyle. This gritty thriller helmed by director Tara E. Davis is based on the life of Houston performer Lil' Troy.
Directed by Tara Davis, Back to Ballin' leans on a strong ensemble — Lil' Troy, Lil' Troy Jr., Arnette Watson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2003.
