We are lucky to have her and lucky to know a girl like Bri.-The New York Times Book Review 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.
