[edit] Synopsis

In this installment, the Leprechaun arrives in Compton, California, a city well-known for its largely African American populace. In the film three young rap artists are looking for a deal. They need money to buy some music equipment so they can go to Las Vegas and enter a contest. They meet up with a local pimp named Mack Daddy who agrees to "hook them up", but later declines. The rappers want to get even with him so one night they break into Mack's place and steal a lot of his jewelry, gold, and even the medallion off an ugly looking statue. The statue transforms into the Leprechaun, who goes on a killing spree once again looking for his missing gold.
