This is the rich story of 5 childhood friends from the projects in Boston who went on to become child stars when they formed New Edition in their early teens. This boy band caught fire and made them national celebrities overnight. When corrupt management and inter-band fighting forced New Edition to break up all seemed lost for Ricky Bell, Mike Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe. Life After-Bell Biv DeVoe tells the story of BBD's triumphant rise from the ashes to New Edition to become a musical sensation in their own right. Fusing R&B and rap music, BBD forged a sound all their own and one that's been emulated by numerous other performers. Songs from their debut album are still played at clubs nationwide today. BBD has had their own wild ride, and has even performed as New Edition a couple of times. Life After-Bell Biv DeVoe is all about never giving up and believing in yourself.
