Do the Music

Jerwayne meets up with Cuzzy, who bullied him at Sunday School twenty years earlier. Cuzzy still makes Jerwayne feel so threatened that, rather than admit he works in a Phone Shop, he claims to manage a rap group called New Man Ting. Thus he ropes in the staff, led by Christopher, to perform with Lance making a video of their rap. They impress a record producer - until he discovers that they are all fakes, not to mention the fact that Lance has not entirely filmed over his sex tape with Shelley. The dejected lads return the Bentley they hired for the occasion - only to find that Cuzzy is a humble car cleaner and no threat at all.
