Stardom crashed like an avalanche onto this female rap artist. Now getting justice, real power, and true respect will be the hardest fight of her life... 20-year-old Deza was supposed to be just another hot girl emcee, but when a bonus track strikes a surprising social chord, it rockets her album to the top of the charts-and her record label promotes her to headline their first-ever all-female national tour. As Deza attempts to live up to her new reputation, her inexperience generates tour drama. And, when her female DJ quits, the label replaces her with the last thing Deza needs: the sexy guy DJ she flirted with at a club. But in battling to prove she deserves her success and embracing her power as an activist for Black Lives, Deza starts to feel she can face anything that comes her way-until her label prepares to undermine the all-female lineup in the name of mega-profits. Now, up against brutal industry misogyny and corporate big money, Deza will need the drive of that scrappy emcee from the South Side of Chicago and the bulletproof cool of a seasoned music professional if she wants to claim a space of respect in hip-hop, not just for herself, but for everyone and everything she believes in...

I don't read much contemporary fiction, but I fell in love with this book. Queen of Urban Prophecy discusses feminism, black lives matter, and other hot topic issues, and still manages to have an engaging plot that kept my attention throughout.
I also really enjoyed the incorporation of music/creative rap lyrics! It was written so well that I could actually hear and feel the music while I was reading (I could not sit still on my couch), and then it would get stuck in my head for hours. ( )
