He must choose between the streets that raised him or the higher education that may offer him a way out.

Williams (&#8220;Girls Trip&#8221;) plays Jonathan &#8220;JG&#8221; Greg, David&#8217;s rough-and-tumble younger brother, who acts tough in front of his peers but still needs his big brother and mom to be there for him; Ade Chike Torbert (&#8220;East Los High&#8221;) is Raynan, the local drug dealer running the movements in The Ville who talks a good game about taking care of the neighborhood and running things for Sky while also attempting to connect with David the way Sky did, except he seeks a disciple not a friend or brother; Jordan Bolger (&#8220;Peaky Blinders&#8221;) plays Shinobi, Raynan&#8217;s second-in-command who nearly comes to blows with David, whom he resents.
