Brandon Bumcowski AKA Lil’ Bumpkin. Clout hungry rapper wannabe teen. Has skewed perception of instant gratification through fame and its value rooted from his social media addiction. He is more interested in being famous and rich than possessing skill and artistic voice. Brandon is overly confident, slightly grumpy, and underestimates the work that goes into attaining success, despite all of this, he is still a good kid at heart.
A nurturing, and supportive mother, always trying to give her son Brandon the life she always wanted growing up. She is surprised when Brandon reveals that he is dropping out to become an independent musician (rapper), given his previous lack of interest. She understands the importance of learning through experience and entertains Brandon’s dreams, but still expects him to show her that he has what it takes to pursue them.
Pragmatic tech savvy, lonely, teen who acts as Brandon's self-proclaimed "manager". Ethan recognizes the reality of the rap scene, but like Brandon he values superficial aspects over actual talent. He is optimistic, opportunistic, and jumps at the chance to help Brandon achieve his goals, and gain a friend in the process.
