Book Description
Angelique is a naturally beautiful woman who is full of ambition. When she relocates to New York for her job, she is optimistic about finding Mr. Right. But even in a city with millions of singles, her chaotic work schedule and chronic bad luck with men are a toxic combination. Angelique decides to put love on pause to focus on making partner at her Fortune 500 management consulting firm. However, corporate America’s maze of glass ceilings leave her disillusioned. One day, a business proposition from her co-worker Mona changes everything. Angelique and Mona’s first client is Mandingo Records, a label owned by the multi-millionaire, hip hop mogul, Big Buck. His world of raw lyrics, diamond encrusted grills, scantily clad video vixens, drugs and wild parties overwhelm Angelique. A typical day at the office is chocked full of the kind of drama she never dreamed of. Right on the brink of calling it quits, she catches the eye of the label’s biggest star, the king of hip hop, Vertigo. Long before he acquired his fame and fortune, Vertigo relied on his good looks and hazel eyes to charm women. They literally bent over backwards and sideways to please him without much effort on his part. Now that he’s a double-platinum selling artist, females are willing to go to new extremes to get his attention. But Angelique is unlike any woman he’s ever known. She challenges him in a way he’s not accustomed to. Can Vertigo and Angelique listen to their hearts, or will haters get in the way? In this first installment of the Ms. Mogul Series, love and loyalties are put to the ultimate test.

Book Description
When Kai takes a trip to Costa Rica with Santiago to attend his sister’s wedding, she can’t help but fantasize about her own happily-ever-after, but her excursion in paradise is interrupted by someone from Santiago’s past, someone who makes Kai question the man she longs to open her heart to. Is Santiago worthy of her love, or is he harboring a destructive secret? Back in Detroit, at the Channel 5 news desk, Kai is excited to hold the coveted spot as lead anchor. The fact that she is filling in for her trifling ex, Frank, definitely doesn’t diminish her resolve to advance her career. Unfortunately, someone at the TV station has a sinister plan. For Kai Lewis, danger is never too far away. Meanwhile, Kai is invited to interview for the job of a lifetime. As badly as she wants to seize the opportunity, she is reluctant to leave her family and the love of her life behind to move across the country. While she struggles with the difficult decision, a trial gets underway to decide the fate of her nemesis, Tisha. Despite Tisha’s laundry list of dirty deeds, her clever defense attorney has concocted a brilliant strategy, and Kai is concerned that the jury will acquit her instead of throwing her salty behind under the jail where she belongs. After the unnerving and shocking display of that lawyer’s slick courtroom antics, Kai finds herself confronted by her second nemesis, Madison, in the most disrespectful way. Kai’s life as a single mother and her work schedule allow her limited free time to spend with her man, but she tries her best to make every minute count, and her fantasies of a brighter future bring a smile to her face. With the love and support of her family, Kai feels nothing can stop her. But just as she’s on the verge of realizing a dream-come-true, she makes a devastating mistake that could cost her everything. Can Kai and her sister, LaNaya, undo the damage before it’s too late? Kai has already endured years of unspeakable drama from outsiders, but this time, she is responsible for a situation that could be the cause of her own downfall. In this final installment of The Motor City Drama Series, sex, witness testimony, and videotape distort reality.

Hip Hop Matters
Author: S. Craig Watkins
Publisher: Beacon Press
ISBN: 9780807009864
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Avoiding the easy definitions and caricatures that tend to celebrate or condemn the "hip hop generation," Hip Hop Matters focuses on fierce and far-reaching battles being waged in politics, pop culture, and academe to assert control over the movement. At stake, Watkins argues, is the impact hip hop has on the lives of the young people who live and breathe the culture. He presents incisive analysis of the corporate takeover of hip hop and the rampant misogyny that undermines the movement's progressive claims. Ultimately, we see how hip hop struggles reverberate in the larger world: global media consolidation; racial and demographic flux; generational cleavages; the reinvention of the pop music industry; and the ongoing struggle to enrich the lives of ordinary youth.
