Summary:
"Biggie Smalls was right. Things done changed. But that doesn't mean Quadir and Jarrell are cool letting their best friend Steph's music lie forgotten under his bed after he is murdered -- not when his rhymes could turn any Bed-Stuy corner into a party, not after years of having each other's backs. With the help of Steph's younger sister, Jasmine, who is eager to seek justice for her brother, Quadir and Jarrell come up with a plan to promote Steph's music under a new rap name: the Architect. Soon, everyone wants a piece of him. But when his demo catches the attention of a hotheaded music label rep, the trio must race to prove Steph's talent from beyond the grave. As the pressure -- and danger -- of keeping their secret grows, Quadir, Jarrell, and Jasmine are forced to confront the truth about what happened to Steph. Only, each has something to hide. And with everything riding on Steph's fame, they must decide what they stand for or lose all that they've worked so hard to hold on to -- including each other."-- Provided by publisher.
