Publisher's Synopsis
Malik wants to be a rap star, but will he have to sell out his people to fulfill his dream?

In a child-friendly way, this book explores hip hop's use as a wicked experiment in social engineering that has devastated the Black community. Children who read The Rise and Fall of Hat-Hop Music develop a clear understanding that the only solutions to our problem are Ma'at and racial responsibility.As with all Angela Freeman Books, this is made for adults and children to read together. Doing so encourages dialogue between the generations. Children tend to ask many questions during and after reading this book. Make the most of their questions by encouraging them to think critically to find answers. Enjoy!
