Each episode begins with MC Books, a famous artist that raps his story to a large crowd during a concert in 1996.

Part 1 begins in 1977 with Zeke ( young MC Books ), a young poet who lives with his aunt Wanda following the death of his parents, meeting Shaolin Fantastic, a graffiti artist and aspiring DJ.

Mylene, Zeke 's long - time love, dreams of becoming a disco singer and leaving the Bronx, but faces obstacles such as her religious father.

Mylene wishes to escape the Bronx and become a singer, so she and her friends attempt to impress a DJ that night at the Les Inferno club. Hoping to make his own impression on Mylene, Zeke obtains a rare record of her favorite song. However, a popular graffiti artist by the name of Shaolin Fantastic is instructed to acquire the same record by Grandmaster Flash, another DJ who has promised to mentor him if he can procure the record. After a chase Zeke ends up with the record, but then struggles to gain access to the club ; Mylene, already inside, attracts the attention of Cadillac, a gangster and son of the club 's owner, who asks Mylene to dance with him during the dance - off. When Shao sees Zeke outside the club, the two discuss why they both need the record. Impressed by Zeke 's wordsmithing, Shao agrees to get Zeke into the club with the condition that Shao gets the record by the end of the night. As Zeke and Mylene dance and kiss, a gang shootout breaks out inside the club, killing the DJ and several others ; Zeke, Mylene, and her friends barely escape. Zeke confesses his love for Mylene as he brings her home, but despite her feelings for him, she believes his reluctance to fulfill his life will stop her from leaving the Bronx if they were to fall in love. Zeke then hands over the record to Shao, who explains that he needs it for a DJing technique called `` the get down ''. Shao takes the record with Zeke and his friends to a local club and gives it to Grandmaster Flash, who uses it to create a consistent, never - ending beat with a second record that 's never been done before. Shao and Zeke then impress the entire club with Shao 's dancing and Zeke 's freestyle rapping abilities. Meanwhile, Mylene has run away after being beaten by her father ; she goes to stay with her uncle, Papa Fuerte, a political figure hoping to improve the neighborhoods. At Shao 's home, Zeke and Shao discuss their future, the two hoping to team up and use their music to take the city by storm. `` Seek Those Who Fan Your Flames '' Ed Bianchi Sam Bromell & Sinead Daly & Jacqui Rivera August 12, 2016 ( 2016 - 08 - 12 ) Grandmaster Flash begins his training of Shaolin Fantastic. He begins by giving Shao a crayon that he refers to as the `` key '', and twenty - four hours to figure out its use. While the other boys give up and leave, Shao and Zeke stay overnight and realize the crayon is used to mark the `` get down '' point on the records. After further explanations, Grandmaster instructs Shao to perfect one record using his techniques. After working for a while, the boys take a break and return to discover that Shao 's home has been set on fire, destroying his records and turntables. Meanwhile, Mylene 's uncle Papa Fuerte arranges for a music producer to listen to her sing in church. Just before the service begins, however, Mylene 's father tells her she will no longer sing solos due to her recent actions and foray into disco music. As the choir sings, the producer starts to leave, so Mylene defies her father 's wishes and sings to stop him from leaving.

At the same time he works with Shao and the Kipling brothers to prepare for the upcoming battle discovering they each have different musical skills.

The series is described as `` a mythic saga of how New York at the brink of bankruptcy gave birth to hip - hop, punk and disco ''. The Sony Pictures Television show takes place in Bronx tenements, the SoHo art scene, CBGB, Studio 54 and the just - built World Trade Center. On April 9, 2015, it was announced that Justice Smith, Shameik Moore, Skylan Brooks, Jaden Smith, and newcomer Tremaine ( TJ ) Brown Jr. would play the show 's lead male roles. On April 16, 2015 it was announced that newcomer Herizen F. Guardiola would play the show 's female lead. Rap legends Grandmaster Flash, Kurtis Blow and Nas hosted a Hip - Hop boot camp to educate the young actors. The production crew used the Eisner Award - winning comic series Hip Hop Family Tree by Ed Piskor as a reference point. The trailer for part two was released in February 2017, with episodes being made available on Netflix on April 7, 2017. The series picked up a year later in 1978. The accompanying soundtrack was released on April 21, 2017. Reception Part One has been positively reviewed with a 73 % rating on Rotten Tomatoes with the critic consensus reading `` The Get Down 's vibrant music and energetic young cast help to elevate its meandering narrative. '' The show has a score of 69 out of 100 based on 31 reviews on Metacritic which is classified as `` generally favorable reviews ''. The uptempo musical numbers and soundtrack were generally praised as well as the performances from the main cast and cinematography of the show. However, the overly dramatic love story and sometimes `` cartoonish '' violence have been criticized, saying it detracts from the darker, authentic feel of the show and its setting. Reviews improved with later episodes as critics felt that the series had toned down its more outlandish and over the top elements in favor of a more cohesive and balanced episode structure.
