    Library Binding (Rosen Young Adult, Jan. 1, 2009)
    Hip-Hop stars like Kanye West, Mary J. Blige, and Jay-Z have proven that the genre has a deep pool of multi-talented and faceted individuals. These stars donÂ’t remain on a singular path; they cross over into other musical genres and other areas, such as film, art, and fashion. They can create tidal waves of trends that span both coasts and all points in between. Inspired by the freestyle energy of the music, this collection provides accessible accounts of the major players of Hip-Hop. While the rewards of success are great, these careers werenÂ’t built overnight; these stars have created memorable personas through years of hard work, drive, and ambition. Featured talent includes Sean Combs, Russell Simmons, Queen Latifah, Ludacris, Missy Elliot, and the Beastie Boys.

  • Salt N Pepa

    Sarah Gancher, Sahara Gisnash

    Library Binding (Rosen Pub Group, May 30, 2006)
    Salt-N-Pepa paved the way for female rappers to emerge in the once-predominantly male hip-hop community. With their infectious beats, crafty rhymes, and an in-your-face girl-power attitude, the trio forced music lovers all over the world to take notice. Salt-N-Pepa's story is one of friendship and girls-to-women maturation as much as it is of artists who asserted their collective voice to achieve critical and commercial success.
