Hip-Hop has become a genre where stars quickly become influential across other areas, such as fashion, art, film, and consumer goods.

Another uses his or her acclaim and resources to launch other hip-hop stars of tomorrow. These incredible opportunities aren't awarded overnight; these stars have built their personas through years of hard work, dedication, drive, ambition, and talent. Readers will learn the biographical details of world-recognized artists, and the path that led to fame and fortune. The stars of this series include Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, OutKast, and Kanye West.
