| Opplysninger | Sixteen-year-old Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Or at least win her first battle. As the daughter of an underground hip hop legend who died right before he hit big, Bri’s got massive shoes to fill. But it’s hard to get your come up when you’re labeled a hoodlum at school, and your fridge at home is empty after your mom loses her job. So Bri pours her anger and frustration into her first song, which goes viral . . . for all the wrong reasons. Bri soon finds herself at the center of a controversy, portrayed by the media as more menace than MC. But with an eviction notice staring her family down, Bri doesn’t just want to make it—she has to. Even if it means becoming the very thing the public has made her out to be. Insightful, unflinching, and full of heart, On the Come Up is an ode to hip hop from one of the most influential literary voices of a generation. It is the story of fighting for your dreams, even as the odds are stacked against you. - and about how, especially for young black people, freedom of speech isn’t always free. - 16 år gamle Bri vil bli en av tidenes beste rappere. Som datter av en hip hop-legende som døde rett før sitt store gjennombrudd har Bri store sko å fylle. Men når hennes første låt går viralt av helt feil grunner, blir Bri betraktet av media som en svært kontroversiell rapper. Og når familien står i fare for å bli kastet ut av huset de bor i, har ikke lenger Bri bare et ønske om å lykkes - hun må. Selv om det betyr at hun må bli den artisten som mediene har skapt. Fortelling for ungdomstrinnet. Omtalen er utarbeidet av BS.. - Sixteen-year-old Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Or at least get some streams on her mixtape. As the daughter of an underground rap legend who died right before he hit big, Bri's got massive shoes to fill. But when her mom unexpectedly loses her job, food banks and shut-off notices become as much a part of her life as beats and rhymes. With bills piling up and homelessness staring her family down, Bri no longer just wants to make it-she has to make it.
