About this listen

The award-winning author of The Hate U Give returns with a powerful story about hip hop, freedom of speech - and fighting for your dreams, even as the odds are stacked against you.

Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. As the daughter of an underground hip-hop legend who died right before he hit big, Bri’s got massive shoes to fill. But when her first song goes viral for all the wrong reasons, Bri finds herself at the centre of controversy and portrayed by the media as more menace than MC.

And with an eviction notice staring her family down, Bri no longer just wants to make it - she has to. Even if it means becoming the very thing the public has made her out to be.

Loved Bri's story and those of all the supporting characters. Extremely good performance from the narrator. While we're here, Black Lives Matter. Solidarity. <3

At first I absolutely loved it and couldn't stop listening. The narrator did a fantastic job! However, halfway through I started to get annoyed with Bri and her silly decisions and took a break. I'm glad she was able to turn things around. One drawback is the glitch in the Epilogue.

Overall, it's a good modern book that gives insight into rap genre.

I almost didn't finish it....
