FILM SYNOPSIS
By 1984, a slim, young kid in Durham, North Carolina, knew he wanted to be the best DJ on the planet.  Four years later, Youtha Fowler, professionally known as N.A.B.S, left his hometown to pursue big dreams in the city of Atlanta.   The aspiring Bull City native  became one of the most prolific DJs of his time.

The film covers his 40-year career in the industry as N.A.B.S pushed boundaries, elevated the status quo, and continues to move DJ culture forward with his creative vision and innovation.  

Presented in a stunning display of graphics, artifacts, vintage recordings, and music, the documentary reveals N.A.B.S’ journey of survival and reinvention through the challenging entertainment business.
