Synopses & Reviews
Cassandra Rivers and Leila Aponte have been puttin' it down as Sabrina Steelo and Fatal Beauty on the underground hip hop scene. Even though Cassie dreams of working it like Wu Tang while Leila fantasizes about becoming the Latina Big Pun, it's all good because they're as tight in life as they are on the mic. But when G Double D, founder of gangsta rap label Explicit Content, seduces Fatal with promises of solo stardom, she falls for his rap hook, verse, and sample. Burned by Fatal's betrayal, Sabrina must forge ahead alone, driven to beat her partner-turned-rival to the streets.
Before she knows it, Cassie's drive leads her right into the center of Explicit Content drama. G's got secrets, none of them good, and Fatal's in danger. Her bond with Fatal is too deep to deny, and Cassie's competitiveness quickly turns into concern.
But G Double D makes it clear-ride or die. Cassie has to decide what she's willing to risk to achieve her dream-including Fatal's friendship and perhaps even her life.
