Faces of Rap Mothers: Book Two (Premium color trade print)
Foreword by
Mr. Jeffrey Collins
Ghostwritten by
Donna L. Quesinberry
Published by
DonnaInk Publications, L.L.C.
In Book Two of the
Faces of Rap Mothers
series, Candy Strother DeVore-Mitchell continues her groundbreaking journey into the heart of hip-hop culture-this time joined by a powerful new chorus of women whose stories pulse with rhythm, resilience, and revelation. This volume includes a heartfelt dedication to Queen G, sister of Tyrese Gibson, honoring her presence and impact within the culture. These women don't just reflect hip-hop-they helped shape it. Their voices rise from behind the scenes to center stage, offering readers a rare glimpse into the familial, spiritual, and creative forces that fuel the music.
Originally released in Fall 2020, Book Two faced challenges that only strengthened its foundation. After a well-marketed launch was compromised by unauthorized replication, Candy reengineered the manuscript and re-released the original work-restoring its integrity and amplifying its message. Like the culture it represents, this book is resilient, real, and rooted in truth.
