This book tells the story of Ray, a teenager living in London who gets kicked out of school and almost his own home. His friends Prem and Tyrone also are kicked out, and think they are too good for it anyway.

This book was very suspensful. I couldnt stop reading this book, the characters were like it was happening in reallife. The book was about three boys who got expeled from school, and they are very good at rapping and they are trying to make it big. They end up going to this school teaching them all about music, and they get a record deal and they end getting rivals from a different rap group.
