Three teenagers work to promote their murdered friend’s rap music and investigate the circumstances of his death.
The teenagers hope to have their friend’s music produced professionally, while hip-hop history is woven into events beginning in 1998.
Boys and girls are described as equally talented and determined; couples discuss respect, consent and whether they are ready for sex.
Pay particular attention to grief and loss.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: another book-specific source is still needed; some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
Anything not established here remains open; it is not being treated as absent or safe.
