88rising (or 88⬆) is a record label and collective that brings together ten Asian hip-hop artists to work on projects from tracks to tours. Described as a home, a family and a creative energy, our film looks at what 88rising means to its members.

In their mission to bridge east and west, the group's creative dynamic follows its own rules. Seeing them on stage, on tour and in their downtime, we get a sense of how this dynamic works and how they balance so many different voices to create art that’s more than the sum of its super-talented parts.
