Review Summary and Plot Commentary about State Property
This is Rocafella Records second feature length project, which portrays street life to its roots.
There's a lot of money in the South side of Philadelphia, or at least Beans (Beanie Sigel) believes so. Beans aquires the services of Blizz (Memphis Bleek) and many other of his childhood friends to form the criminal organization, ABM: All 'Bout Money.
But when it comes down to the struggle and the success that comes with it, there's someone else that wants it more. In this case, an experience, cocky, rival group (consisting of Damon Dash and Jay-Z), who has the last portion of the Phiadelphia area that ABM needs to control the whole city. See if Beans and company makes it on top or they take a the long fall.
