Baby Boy -- A small-time crook who has fathered two children by different women, has no job, and still lives at home with his mother, tries to turn his life around. Set in the Crenshaw district of Los Angeles, 'Baby Boy' is a very loose follow-up to director Singleton's breakthrough film, 'Boyz N The Hood.'

Baby Boy is the powerful urban drama directed by John Singleton (Shaft, Boyz N the Hood) starring rap music superstars Tyrese Gibson and Snoop Dogg (Half Baked, I Got the Hook Up). With knockout performances from Ving Rhames (Mission: Impossible II, Pulp Fiction, Con Air) and A.J. Johnson (Friday House Party, The Players Club), Baby Boy is a tough, honest and unflinching look at modern urban life. Jody (Gibson) is a 20-year-old African American in South Central L.A. who is trying to live large but doesn't have a job. He's got two babies by two different women and still lives at home with his mother (Johnson). Growing up is tough on Jody, but a series of events involving his mother's new boyfriend Melvin (Rhames), his girfriend Yvette (Taraji P. Henson) and her ex-con ex-boyfriend Rodney (Snoop Dogg), force him to learn lessons about living, loving and surviving as a man in the hood.

Jody is a jobless 20-year-old who has fathered two children by two different women. As he grapples with the pressures of adult responsibility, he also contends with his troubled best friend, new adversary Rodney and his relationship with his mom.
