Too fly to bow down to such sleaze, Fabiola earns herself powerful enemies and an unlikely ally. When Casino, an older gangster battling demons of his own in the music biz and on the streets, crosses her path, they pool their hopes and their assets to fight for a brighter future.With Nikki Turner’s signature flair—and a dishy, inside-the-biz approach—Ghetto Superstar will have fans and new readers alike hollering for more.

Reviewed on March 23, 2009

Verdict: The queen of hip-hop lit (A Hustler's Wife) knows her way around the music industry, as the authentic recording scenes in this rags-to-riches tale demonstrate. The trash-talking radio call-in is an especially skillful piece of street-lit writing. To boot, the cliff-hanger ending will have patrons clamoring for Turner's next book. Buy multiple copies. Background: Fabiloa Mays, a pure and innocent girl from Richmond, VA, wins New York City's Hot Soundz contest, but before she can collect her $50,000 prize, the company goes belly-up. Neighborhood gangster Mr. Casino comes to her family's aid with quick cash when they are threatened with eviction. Fabiola never gives up on her dream of becoming a star but finds an enemy in Mr. Wiz, a recording mogul famous for ushering starstruck girls to his casting couch. Copyright 2009 Media Source Inc.
