He’s a rapper and he start the movie off by rapping the theme song for the movie. Naomi Campbell actually did background vocals for this song and it wasn’t a C+C Factory situation. In fact, she a whole music career. It didn’t go anywhere, wait a minute this aint her video. After he get’s done with his show or montage or whatever they do, Johnny and his crew hope on his bike.
