Based rather on wish-fulfilment but with some hard-hitting plot points and strong morals, this YA novel follows the fortunes of three lads who want to form a hip-hop group. Excluded from school, they end up at a teaching centre and following their dream, although things quickly sour when gang warfare intervenes. The plot was not that believeable, but pacy, attractive and a good read. ( )

After reading this book, I discovered some negatives and postives in this book as in swearing, disrespect, love and music. You might be wondering what I mean. But this book is filled with lots of situations. There are three boys who are a gang and lead a life with lots of problems, violence, rapping and music! They don't like to be in school but wanting to be a part of a profession in rapping and music creating. They don't care about anything but their friends and music. More is being included in this book if you wish to read this book. I have found this book really interesting though it may had some cons in it. I would allow teens from ages 13-20 to read this book since it has some bad language that is not as applicable to young age group. Thanks for reading my review. :) ( )

The struggle of a boy who nobody seem to understand him but his friends it seems. He go threw a whole lot of fighting between his father. Sometimes argue with his sister. But only over music. But he gets in a lot of fights that can take his life. Yes i recommend the book, it's a good read and you learn the whole game in this book. this book reminds you to never stop your hustler.
