Ming's Dynasty (2019)
Fledgling Toronto rappers Whyte Wyne and Young Riesling return to Riesling's home in small-town Alberta to run the family business: a Chinese restaurant. Will they chase the beats or be loyal to the eats?
Seasons & Episode
Outlawed from doing rap in the restaurant by Ming Ho Garden owner and Riesling’s father Gordon, Whyte & Riesling hatch an ambitious plan that could cost them their lives.
The boys are rescued by Riesling’s perfect, younger brother Ben. They accompany him to a garage party out in The Sticks, and get schooled by local Indigenous rapper Rudy C in a heated cipher.
The boys are forced to work their first dinner service solo and call on Nivea for help, but everything that can go will go wrong in this Kitchen Nightmares-inspired episode.
Whyte celebrates Chinese New Year’s Eve by taking magic mushrooms and accidentally poisons Gordon, sending him on a terrible trip where he comes face to face with a demon (and himself).
A catering gig at a 16th birthday becomes the boys’ most important performance. Casual J - infamous Coaldale DJ - gets sidelined when Nivea performs a new anthem with the guys called “Text Me Back.”
After Gordon admits he has lost the family fortune, Riesling must abandon his hip-hop dreams to save his family and their restaurant. “Text Me Back” catches GLDSTN’s attention.
