Don't be fooled by the poster/cover - the artwork that is being displayed here at imdb. It is a clever trick one might say to catch the attention of a few people (mainly the male audience). Do not expect the movie to reflect that.
Also this is low budget, so do not expect this to have big .. visuals. What it does have though, is a really cool soundtrack. If you are into the music that is. Also be aware that there are a lot of profanities being used. It is depicting people and how they would talk. In that sense it is quite real. Still there are many scenes that are unnecessary to the story or plot.
You have to suspend your disbelief quite a bit to be able to enjoy this. The twist towards the end might help - but it also might be too clever for its own good. Performances are a mixed bag ... you'll get some goodies during the end credits, including outtakes.
Plot summary
This dramatic tale of four women running the dope game in a big city is a familiar story that is as colorful as the characters they meet in the streets. We follow them on separate journeys to sustain the same objective of maintaining and increasing territory. YaYa, her right hand and best friend locks down problems and solves them without question. She as hood as they come with a sexy ruthless attitude. Dody is Candy's younger cousin who's loyal to the bone, but a bit green when it comes to the seriousness of the business at hand. And Joy, a pretty Latina chick, won't break a sweat remove someone or something out of her way to stay on track. These four women funnel their funds through a very prestigious high end hair and massage salon that sits at the hub of the city. Men and women alike flock to this establishment from all over the country for its professional quality, perfection to detail, and gossip. It's the main funnel that these ladies use as an information wire to know all the dirt in the streets. Plus, it keeps them looking damn good while they handle business. With the respect from the streets and a crooked cop wanting them dead or alive, the only means of survival in the game is drugs, murder, and dirty money.

3 for the babes
The only thing nice about this movie are the girls. They fine as hell. Everything else is gabbage. From cinematography, to acting, to story, to soundtrack, to cast, to even the special effects used. Wack!
This is a movie that with a better team could have been worthwhile
Candy (2017) is a movie I recently watched on Prime and tells the story of four Houston based best friends in the city who smuggle drugs and make lots of cash. As they get bigger and better and start to expand they look to execute their biggest move yet; unfortunately for them, one of the ladies has a new boyfriend and gets addicted to heroine. It might be a bad time to not be on your A game and there may quickly be a change in fortune for the ladies. This movie is directed by Nahala Johnson (Dominos: The Game We Play) and stars Sheneka Adams (Brotherly Love),Anthony Johnson (Friday),Kendrick Smith (Because I Love You) and Scarface (Narc). The strip club opening and the actresses in this are absolutely magnificent. The dialogue between characters isn't bad and the narration by the main character isn't terrible but isn't great either. The directing, quality of the film and cinematography are just okay and the ending of the movie is ridiculous. It sets up to be a great tragedy piece, but falls short. There are some twists at the end that could have been really good if executed better. This is a movie that with a better team could have been worthwhile. Overall this is a below average addition to the genre you can skip. I would score this a 3/10.
