Notorious editor in chief of Blaze magazine, Washington knows the world of hip-hop intimately. Black Will Shoot is a juicy page-turner filled with thinly veiled revelations about some of the biggest names in the business. The novel follows two brothers through the course of one summer: Marq, a naive but talented writer and his brother Dontay, a music producer turned crackhead. Marq takes a job as a reporter at new hip-hop magazine Fever. But the more he discovers about the gangsters and criminals who really run the rap game, the deeper the danger for him.
