Welcome to Fairfax

On “The Block” street-wear designer Mizzle; rappers Julian, Hawaii and Corey; and newly transplanted Tori are all reaching towards the future.

While Mizzle and his girlfriend, Felicia, juggle their careers and impending parenthood, “Chill Black Guys” rappers Julian, Hawaii and Corey travel to Austin’s SxSW music festival. CBG are on the rocks and hope to reignite the band’s past success.

Former gang member Gabe struggles to leave his past behind him and make something out of his skills in BMX. When Mizzle’s dad’s dementia worsens, Mizzle agonizes over the decision to put him into a home. Tori, still new on the block, misses home.

After a disappointing experience at SXSW, a frustrated Julian explores the possibility of going solo. Meanwhile, Hawaii desperately needs CBG to be a success. Tori goes public for the first time with her story of surviving domestic violence.

After his uncle’s murder, Gabe needs a fresh start. He joins Mizzle on a trip to New York, and discovers that he’s already a big name in the BMX world. Meanwhile, Mizzle succeeds in making some important clothing deals.

The tension in CBG builds to a breaking point and Julian finally quits the group for good. Gabe attempts to meet up with family, but when his car overheats his own temperature hits the boiling point. Tori works towards her dream of becoming a DJ.
