The game's story mode, called "Build a Label", starts when the player is obligated to create his own "suspect" on an FBI computer. The player can edit every aspect of the character's body and choose his fighting style and fight song. However, the songs that you have an option to pick is "Got It Sewed Up (Remix)" by Mike Jones, "Back Then" also by Mike Jones, "Soul Survivor" by Young Jeezy featuring Akon, "I Do This", also by Young Jeezy, "Go Hard Or Go Home" by E-40 featuring The Federation, "Sittin' Sidewayz" by Paul Wall featuring Big Pokey, and "Trill" by Paul Wall featuring Bun B and B.G, along with all fighting styles except Ghetto Blaster and Street Kwon Do, are locked.
After creating a character, the story starts in a sequence where Funkmaster Flex can be heard speaking to his audience on the radio with the instrumental of "I Do This" by Young Jeezy playing in the background. The camera pans through several sections of a neighborhood, including a building with a promotional poster for T.I. vs T.I.P. on the side. By the time Funkmaster Flex is done talking, the camera shows a child, Kevin, walking down the street with his friend Jake while bouncing a basketball. Kevin then spots Curtis Carver (Kevin Liles), a mogul in the music industry, speaking with his record label's vice president (Playa). The camera then shifts to Carver, who is still speaking with Playa, when is suddenly interrupted by Kevin, accompanied by Jake. Kevin then asks Carver for his autograph. While Carver signs Kevin's basketball, he asks the children whether they're staying out of trouble. After handing Kevin back his basketball, Carver also gives him and Jake some money and advises them to pursue careers in basketball, adding that it will bring them financial success. While Kevin and Jake walk away, gunshots are heard and Carver can be seen falling to the ground. Kevin and Jake run away, and Playa can be seen looking at Carver while his blood spreads around his torso on the ground.
The camera then fades into a black screen, which says "Two Years Earlier", then fades into a club, with "We Fly High" by Jim Jones playing in the background. The camera follows are bald man wearing a varsity jacket from the back and from the side, who walks through the club towards the bar, as he approaches another bald man wearing a tank top, who is talking to a woman wearing a T-shirt bra and jeans. He punches the man, claiming that the woman is his girlfriend, and grabs her by the hand. As they leave the club, the woman protests that she and the other man were just talking, and wriggles her hand free, making the man hit Playa, who is having a drink. Playa shouts at the man for messing up his brand new shirt, but the man gets mad and pushes him, telling him that he'll also have blood on it if he doesn't "step back". Playa agrees, but says that maybe it won't be his. The game then goes into a fight sequence, where the player has to beat up the man in the club. If the player loses the fight, the man is revealed to be Big Herc.
After the fight, Playa can be seen looking at the ground, with "Got It Sewed Up (Remix)" by Mike Jones playing in the background. A large man, possibly a bodyguard, then comes to inform him that Carver would like to speak with him. In the discussion, Playa apologizes for causing damage to his club, but in his defense he says that Herc was being disrespectful. Carver, who can be seen with two ladies at his side, assures him that it's alright and tells him that he and even Wink (Sticky Fingaz), the man who was previously punched by Big Herc, respects him for that. Carver then asks Playa who he's with, but he tells him that he's "his own man". Carver then tells him that now he's with his boy, telling him that he liked how he "kept it gangsta".
Playa then gets overcome with excitement, explaining to Carver about all his skills and ideas, prompting Carver to slow him down and tell him to keep it simple for the time being in order to see how his talent fits in. Carver then asks him where he lives, and Playa tells him that he's close to being homeless. He then tells Tiny, the large man who had asked Playa to meet Carver, to set him up with a house. Playa acknowledges Carver's generosity, but asks him what price he had to pay for the house, at which Carver replies that all he needs is his loyalty, adding that he has a good feeling about him.
