DOWNLOAD EBOOKAll rise in the courtroom for a cozy whodunit murder mystery, a case the media calls The Mic Drop. Controversial rap star Flex switches lawyers for the new metaphorical war king Miles Turner and The Jury Whisperer Tana Lynn to beat this all-or-nothing charge. Judge Mintall presides in a whodunit range from Flex to premeditated rap rival Second Degree, from The Shenanigans to a political dilemma known as a Rebellious Shadow, the Clue Queen herself, and an unusual delivery service for couples breaking up! With an extra bet, and a unique plea deal offer, can an equally matched prosecutor rhyme “guilty” with “he’ll be?” Or will this criminal defense firm, compared to ‘a street fight on a chessboard,’ once again prevail with an unorthodox lawyer’s audacity to manipulate manipulation itself? “When awareness wins, we don’t have to lose each other” – Jwyan C. Johnson *Although this book functions as a stand-alone mystery, The Mic Drop is also a spinoff storyline elaborating between Books 4 and Book 5 of the Karma’s Revenge series in cozy mini-mystery.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom the New York Times bestselling author of When Dimple Met Rishi comes the second installment in a series set an elite boarding school that’s a contemporary spin on fairy tales, this one a delightful, romantic twist on The Frog Prince. Caterina LaValle is determined to show she’s still the queen of St. Rosetta’s Academy. Sure, her crown may be slightly askew after her ex-boyfriend, Alaric, cheated on her, but she’s a LaValle. She’ll find a way to march right back in there, her hands clutching the strings to the whole puppet show. This time, she’s going to be untouchable. Rahul Chopra knows that moment he shared with Caterina LaValle at the winter formal meant something. Surely she feels it, too. He’s a little uncertain how someone like him (socially inept to a point way past “adorkable”) could fit into her world, but he’s loved Caterina for years. He knows they’ll find a way. When Caterina finds out Alaric is taking a supermodel to the upcoming gala, she knows she cannot arrive without the perfect date. But the thought of taking another superficial St. R’s boy exhausts her. The solution? Sweet-but-clueless Rahul Chopra and a mysterious pot of hair gel with the power to alter the wearer into whatever his heart desires. When Rahul tries it, he transforms instantly into RC—debonair, handsome, and charming. But transformation comes with a price: As Rahul enjoys his new social standing, the line between his two personas begins to blur. Will he give up everything, including Caterina, to remain RC? Or will this unlikely pair find their way back to each other?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKComplementing a burgeoning area of interest and academic study, Roc the Mic Right explores the central role of language within the Hip Hop Nation (HHN). With its status convincingly argued as the best means by which to read Hip Hop culture, H. Samy Alim then focuses on discursive practices, such as narrative sequencing and ciphers, or lyrical circles of rhymers. Often a marginalized phenomenon, the complexity and creativity of Hip Hop lyrical production is emphasised, whilst Alim works towards the creation of a schema by which to understand its aesthetic. Using his own ethnographic research, Alim shows how Hip Hop language could be used in an educational context and presents a new approach to the study of the language and culture of the Hip Hop Nation: 'Hiphopography'. The final section of the book, which includes real conversational narratives from Hip Hop artists such as The Wu-Tang Clan and Chuck D, focuses on direct engagement with the language. A highly accessible and lively work on the most studied and read about language variety in the United States, this book will appeal not only to language and linguistics researchers and students, but holds a genuine appeal to anyone interested in Hip Hop or Black African Language.
