书籍简介

16岁的布里想成为有史以来最伟大的说唱歌手之一。或者至少赢得她的第一场战斗。作为一个地下嘻哈传奇的女儿，布里在他成名前就去世了，她有很多工作要做。

但当你在学校被贴上流氓的标签，当你妈妈丢了工作，你家里的冰箱空了，你就很难振作起来了。所以，布里把她的愤怒和沮丧倾注到她的第一首歌中，这首歌在网上疯传…因为所有错误的原因。

布里很快发现自己处于一场争议的中心，被媒体描述为比主持人更有威胁。但随着驱逐通知盯着她的家人，布里不只是想这样做——她不得不这样做。即使这意味着她会成为公众眼中的她。

《On the Come Up》富有洞察力，毫不退缩，充满激情，这是一首对嘻哈的颂歌，出自一代人中最具影响力的文学声音之一。这是一个在逆境中为梦想而奋斗的故事;特别是对于年轻的黑人来说，言论自由并不总是自由的。

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.
