She almost loses the job before her first day's barely even started when Bleau decides budget cuts must be made for her next project. When Leta offers to do the assignment for a smaller fee, Bleau decides to have her escort a group of rappers, singers, and showbiz wanna-be's to Miami for a video shoot. The gang, which is kept in line by Poppa (Yoba), gets acquainted on a decaying bus as they travel down the East Coast, encountering barroom fights and other problems en route to the video gig.

Music video

Innosense

Innosense was an all-female American musical group that was together from 1997 to 2003.

History

The band was managed by Lou Pearlman and Lynn Harless. The original members were Danay Ferrer, Mandy Ashford, Nikki DeLoach, Amanda Latona, and Britney Spears and formed in 1997. Their name was suggested by Pearlman and Harless. The band decided to misspell the name so they wouldn't sound like "innocent little four-year-olds." Ashford grew up in Clinton, Mississippi and was a member of the Attache show choir, along with high-school friend Lance Bass, with whom she also shared a vocal coach. Bass recommended Ashford to Pearlman, and she was selected to join the band Innosense. Since then, Ashford has modeled in several publications, including Playboy magazine. She has also served as a spokesmodel for Swisher cigars, Miller Lite, Samson Technologies and currently Thompson Pump. Their inspirations were bands such as NSYNC and Backstreet Boys. Later that same year, Spears decided to go solo and was later replaced by Veronica Finn.
