Trailer for Beats, starring Emayatzy Corinealdi, Paul Walter Hauser, Anthony Anderson, Uzo Aduba and Ariana Burks.

In this coming-of-age drama, a reclusive teenage musical prodigy (Khalil Everage) forms an unlikely friendship with a down-on-his-luck high school security guard (Anthony Anderson). United by their mutual love of hip hop, they try to free each other from the demons of their past and break into the city's music scene.

Beats is the ultimate ode to Chicago's South Side, and its long history of creating music that forms the city's beating heart.
