Quadir and Jarrell go to Kaven’s studio. There are many cameras outside. Kaven is an adult, which surprises Quadir. The boys explain that they need Kaven to make the track, but he can’t tell anyone about it. Kaven asks if the rapper is dead. The boys confirm this but reiterate that it’s an easy job and they’ll pay him. Kaven listens to Steph’s CD and seems surprised but doesn’t explain why. He says it will cost $800. The boys realize they must pay because Kaven already knows too much.

After leaving, the boys debrief about how Kaven seemed weird after they played Steph’s music. Jarrell says they shouldn’t worry; Kaven probably just heard Steph’s music before at a party and is surprised that’s what they brought in.

Steph looks over his CDs and tapes, thinking he still needs a few more songs until he’s ready for the studio. Steph questions whether Ronnie, who has just started dating Quadir, is Quadir’s type. Quadir isn’t receptive to this. Quadir apologizes that his mom didn’t cook dinner for them, but money is tight. Steph finds a brochure for Bishop, a prep school whose coach has started scouting Quadir.
