A hoodlum named Mack Daddy (Music/IceT) discovers the leprechauns gold, and in the ensuing struggle accidentally tosses the gold medallion from part three around its neck, [[TakenForGranite trapping it in stone]]. Among his newly acquired treasure, he comes across a golden flute that gives its owner great musical talent. Flash forward several years, and he is now a successful rap producer. One night, three aspiring singers rob his office in retaliation for denying them a record deal. They steal the flute and the medallion, unwittingly releasing the leprechaun... in da hood.
