Crooklyn is a 1994 semi-biographical film written and directed by Spike Lee. The film takes place in Brooklyn, New York during the 1970s. Its primary focus is a young girl, Troy (played by Zelda Harris), and her family.
A distinctive characteristic of Crooklyn is its soundtrack, comprised completely of music from the 1970s, except the hit single "Crooklyn" by the Crooklyn Dodgers, a rap crew comprised of Buckshot, Masta Ace and Special Ed. A two-volume release of the soundtrack became available on CD along with the release of the film.
Similar to Do the Right Thing and She's Gotta Have It, Spike Lee can be seen acting in Crooklyn. He plays a bully and drug addict named Snuffy.
