Product Description

Dakota Grand is a young music journalist who's left his Southern roots behind and moved to the Big Apple to cover the rough-and-tumble world of rap. He's part of the star-making machinery, spinning the web of interviews, reviews, and "inside stories" that move the CD's off the racks. The break of his career comes with the opportunity to interview one of his heroes, rap star Mirage, for a cover story. But when Mirage is less than pleased by the resulting article, Dakota finds himself in the hospital. A duel has kicked off, and Dakota is determined to win back his honour.

Review
"Kenji Jasper taps into the underlying conflict between hip-hop journalists and MC's, between truth tellers and myth makers, and takes this battle to its brutally logical conclusion. Finally, a hip-hop novel for people who love hip-hop."
