Sixteen-year-old Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Or at least win her first battle. As the daughter of an underground hip hop legend who died right before he hit big, Bri's got massive shoes to fill.
 
But it's hard to get your come up when you're labeled a hoodlum at school, and your fridge at home is empty after your mom loses her job. So Bri pours her anger and frustration into her first song, which goes viral... for all the wrong reasons.
 
Bri soon finds herself at the center of a controversy, portrayed by the media as more menace than MC. But with an eviction notice staring her family down, Bri doesn't just want to make it-she has to. Even if it means becoming the very thing the public has made her out to be.
 
Insightful, unflinching, and full of heart, On the Come Up is an ode to hip hop from one of the most influential literary voices of a generation. It is the story of fighting for your dreams, even as the odds are stacked against you; and about how, especially for young black people, freedom of speech isn't always free.
 
Don't miss Concrete Rose, Angie Thomas's powerful prequel to her phenomenal bestseller, The Hate U Give!


16歲的布莉安娜想成為有史以來最偉大的說唱歌手之一。或者至少贏得她的第一場競演。爸爸是地下嘻哈傳奇,但在大紅大紫之前就去世了,身為女兒的布莉很難趕上爸爸傑出的表現。
 
但是,當你在學校被貼上流氓的標籤,而媽媽失業後你家裡的冰箱是空的時,你很難再站起來。所以布莉將她的憤怒和沮喪灌注到她的第一首歌中,這首歌像病毒式地傳播...毫無原因的。
 
布莉很快發現自己引起爭議,被媒體描述為比美國海軍陸戰隊更具威脅性。但是,一份驅逐通知逼迫著家人,布莉不僅想成功--她不得不。即使這意味著被迫成為公眾期待的人物。
 
《On the Come Up》富有洞察力、堅定不移、充滿愛心,是這世代最有影響力的文學聲音對嘻哈的頌歌。這是一個為夢想而戰的故事,即使勝算不大;特別是對於年輕的黑人,言論自由是少有。
 
不要錯過《Concrete Rose》,這是安琪·湯瑪斯傑出的暢銷書《你給予的仇恨The Hate U Give》 的強有力前傳!
