From the Essence bestselling author of Hiding in Hip Hop and an
entertainment insider--a juicy debut novel about the "down-low"
life of one of New York's most beloved Hip Hop producers.
After the sudden death of his father, a renowned jazz musician,
Aaron "Big A.T." Tremble clings to music as an escape. Making hip
hop beats becomes his life. His love for music lands him at the
estate of Larry "Pop" Singleton, a retired and respected Hip Hop
music mogul who sees something special in Big A.T., and he also
knows the truth about his sexuality. With Pop's blessings and
nurturing, Big A.T. is on the path to becoming the next great Hip
Hop producer in New York.
With the help of Pop and "the family," a network of secretly gay
men in the Hip Hop world, Big A.T. finds success and starts his own
music label. He's signed and worked with some of the biggest Hip
Hop artists in the country. One of them is Brooklyn native
lyricist, "Tickman." Together they are making sweet music together.
Tickman and Big A.T.'s relationship goes beyond producer and rapper
- they become secret lovers.
Nothing can stop Big A.T. All of the radio stations play his music.
He has money, fame, and Jasmine, his girlfriend who doesn't know
about his secret love for men. However, at the pinnacle of his
career, compromising photos of Big A.T. land on the desk of a
national news program--and in the hands of his girlfriend. Big
A.T., for the first time is at a crossroad in his career: come out
publicly with his secret or watch his music empire crumble.
Everyone wants to know the truth about their favorite celebrities'
heart's desire. Within the masculine culture of Hip Hop and
Hollywood, there is a well-known gay subculture that industry
insiders are keenly aware of but choose to hide. Terrance Dean
worked his way up for more than ten years in the entertainment
industry from intern to executive, and has lived the life of glitz
and bling along with Hollywood and Hip Hop's most glamorous. With a
family full of secrets and working in an industry founded on
maleness -- where one's job, friendships, and reputation all depend
on remaining on the down low and in hiding -- Dean writes a
revealing account of the journey of coming out from hiding.
Full of startling anecdotes and incredible true stories,
"Hiding in Hip Hop" is not a traditional tell-all. A personal and
poignant memoir, it is also one of the most provocative and honest
looks at stardom and sexuality.
