Rappers Delight., November 14, 2004
This is an excellent book! "Ringo",a young up and coming rapper and his childhood friend "Brice", a heartless hoodlum, along with another friend decide to "bust a move" as they put it on a check cashing place on Queens Blvd. Well all that could go wrong did go wrong. Blood, hostages, dead bodies, police-you name it. Their friend is killed, and Ringo and Brice end up as fugitives. Each makes his getaway separately not knowing if the other made it out alive.
Fast forward a few years. Ringo is now a famous rapper with all the trimmings, fans, money and drama. Along the way he finds love and some loyal friends.
Brice on the other hand, is a cold blooded killer/crime lord, with his loyal crime squad, "The B Boys". Their worlds collide with dramatic consequences. Sit tight and read as the past hits them squarely in the face, because we all know what goes around comes around and Ringo soon finds out that all that glitters is not gold!
Another well written novel by Relentless Aaron.

How Far Would You Go For Street Fame!, December 27, 2007
Relentless Aaron has done it again with his phenomenal account of a rap artist's claim to fame, mixed with street violence in Rappers `R In Danger. This story starts off in the streets of Queens Blvd where you find Ringo an aspiring rapper, Brice a terror to all streets, and Cooksie, Brice's biggest fan. The streets watch as you see these three guys take over Queens Blvd, from terrorizing the local check cashing place to being forced to run for cover when chased by some cops after a robbery goes wrong.
Ringo and Brice are on the run, after numerous murders and robberies they are forced to relocate and start over. When Brice's face pops up on a most wanted poster, Ringo is brought back to reality of that day two years ago, when the best laid plan went awry. Ringo takes his share of the money from the robbery and lays low, starting from scratch. He gets a hook-up with a demo and starts pushing his CD in the streets by himself. Porsche is the girl who helps him to build his empire, and she is one of his ride-or-die chicks. Tangi is the local resident in the hotel he chooses to make his home, but she is being pimped by her mother and a high school dropout.
Brice is a hardcore gang leader, ripping the streets of Chicago, New York and anywhere he lays his head. He is down for whatever, from robbing, killing, stealing cars you name it he is involved. Will the cops capture enemy number one? Or will Brice be able to stay underground without blowing his own cover?
This book is filled with mystery, murder and craziness from start to finish. I was a little turned off by the number of spelling errors and repeat sentences, but the story was good and kept me turning the pages. The ending will knock you off your feet. I recommend this book to all Street Lit lovers.
