Richard P. Cummings is 21, he has no discernible skill or ambition, and he's left home after a fight with his dad. What would you do in his place?
Watch a ton of YouTube clips, drop your pants and create a music video inspired by Keenan Cahill and Blink-182, of course.
That's just the start of the saga of Lil DPC, a (fictional) viral-video rapper who is "Hung Like a Hero" and has the ego to match.
Can a well-meaning talk-show host (Mark Hoppus) bring this kid back down to earth? Can a lot of help from Fat Joe make LiL DPC a serious hip hop artist with real credibility? Will DPC's concerned father (played by The Sopranos star Steve Schirripa) reclaim his wayward son?

Brit singer/songwriter Jessie J was first discovered after label execs saw her fiery YouTube performances. Since then, Jessie's buzz among critics and music fans has become deafening.
Earlier this month New York City radio station Z100 and iheartradio teamed up to bring Jessie J to some of her biggest fans at the intimate P.C. Richard & Son Theater.
We knew Jessie J has pipes but people might not understand how serious her pen-game is. Just in case, Jessie performed Miley Cyrus' hit "Party in the U.S.A." - which she just so happened to write.
Jessie rounded out her impressive show with a sing-a-long of her hit "Price Tag," although not before asking the crowd to help her perfect an authentic New York accent. A pop singer/songwriter who doesn't take herself too seriously? Love that.
Make sure you pick up Jessie J's debut album Who You Are, on sale in stores, on Amazon and on iTunes.
Head to iheartradio.com for more from Jessie J and past iheartradio shows!
PLUS, check out Fuse's rundown of Mumford & Sons' recent iheartradio concert, including video of the band's great performance.
