Cast

tories

- The animated introduction revolves around how Devon (Voiced by Snoop Dogg) becomes the Hound Of Hell, in which he agreed to sell his soul to a demon named Liore (Voiced by Hawthorne James) to bring back his dead sister who he accidentally killed.

Crossed Out

A tagstress named Posie (Played by Daniella Alonso) is given the power of death by the mysterious Derelict (Played by Danny Trejo), who captures her while she tries to escape from some gang members (Played by Teyo Johnson, Noel Gugliemi & Jeffrey Licon). She later suffers the ultimate price when she starts to abuse her power.

The Scumlord

A white trash bigoted couple, Tex Woods Jr (Played by Anson Mount) and Tiffany (Played by Brande Roderick) are given the chance to gain a lot. Jr's father, Tex Woods Sr (Played by Chuck Hicks) dies mysteriously, but in order for them to receive an inheritance, they have to live with some black Vietnam vets that served under Tex's father (Played by Ernie Hudson, Richard Gant, Tucker Smallwood & L. Kenneth Richardson) for a year. Instead of learning to tolerate and respect, Tex & Tiff just harass them and force them to work. When they start to cause casualties, they soon become victims to their unhappy house mates.

Rhapsody Askew

A new rapper named Sod (Played by Pooch Hall), is finally starting to gain recognition and fame. During an awards show afterparty, he is confronted by Clara (Played by Lin Shaye), a mysterious woman who seemingly stops time. She shows him videos from Sods up and coming days, back when he was affiliated with Quon (Played by Aries Spears), another up coming MC, up to Quon's last day, when he was gunned down in a liquor store by a masked burglar. When Sod denies having to do with his death, Quon enters the room, back from the dead, and he knows who was really behind his death.
