BET purchased the rights to the film after production. The film was first screened at a Laemmle Theatre in Los Angeles, and Paramount released it on DVD. [3]
Black film gave it a negative review, saying: "Dough Boys is a testosterone-fueled saga ostensibly designed to match the taste of fans of those musical glorification of misogyny, materialism and black-on-black crime popularized by the network."
