“When you tell stories on your skin, the ink isn’t the ending it’s where they begin.” After making one of the toughest decisions of his life, Shacago turns in his tattoo gun for a real one when he returns to the streets, reclaiming his title as the inked god of Brooklyn. Shacago's determined to provide his family with the life that he's never had even if it means living vicariously through Rosé, who’s running the now successful Rosé’s Tattoo Shop. No matter how much the game entices him with the promise of easy money and a legacy many have died for, Shacago’s seduced back into the tattoo world, this time by a new pretty face with skin that reminds him of someone he used to know... Stuck in a love triangle of her own is Rosé, the new “It” girl in the industry thanks to her blossoming relationship with boxing champion, Marquise Meriwether. Although Marquise is everything she could ask for in a man—he’s generous, makes legit money, and treats her like a queen—Rosé finds herself constantly worried about the woes of Shacago. It doesn’t help when Parai, the new girl at the shop, enters the picture trying to put them together when life and circumstances may have torn them apart for good. Soon Rosé has to make the choice: since love doesn’t pay the bills, does it matter where the money comes from? Humbled by an unlikely enemy, Xavier is scrambling to make up the bed of lies he's created. The sur-de-soi attitude he’s used to wreak havoc on the lives of his loved ones has come to a halting stop at the introduction of a weapon that no gun of his could ever kill. An envelope. More specifically—the envelope that holds the power to destroy not only his life, but the once unbreakable bond he shares with Shacago. With his lies catching up to him and the finish line nowhere in sight, Xavier is forced to man up and handle his problems like the beast he is or to drop down in defeat. Will Shacago have a second chance at love? Will Rosé accept that love doesn’t always come in the perfect package? Will Xavier lose his battle for the almighty dollar? Find out in the next installment of Ain't Nothing Like a Real One 2: Faded Off an Inked God.

“If pain is love then ink can create soul mates.” An inked god raised by the streets and one of the most prominent hustlers in all of Brooklyn, everyone is shocked to learn that Shacago has decided to give up the game and pursue his dream of becoming one of the best tattoo artists New York City has to offer. Pouring his heart, soul, and every dollar he's hustled for into Rosé’s Tattoo Shop, Shacago's spot on cloud nine is snatched from under him when his ex-girlfriend, Rosé, reappears after disappearing seven years ago. Everything about her still looks the same—especially the body art he decorated her with—but there’s something different about her. Although he’s tempted to push her away, discovering the truth about the elusive Rosé makes Shacago give her a spot at his shop, even if it means opening a door he swore would stay closed. A tatted beauty with a few dark secrets of her own, Rosé returns back to Brooklyn with the hopes of picking up where her and Shacago left off. Her plans crumble to pieces when she discovers that while Shacago has been successful in following his dreams, he's sharing them with someone else—his girlfriend of two years, Zarielle. Not one to back down from a challenge, Rosé takes her position as apprentice to Shacago as her way to weasel back into his good graces and maybe even his heart. Rosé knows that the connection between the two of them is strong, however, one thing stands in the way—the reason she left Shacago when his back was against the wall. While everything in her heart tells her that revealing the truth will destroy any chances they have of getting back together, Rosé holds on to one fact: If it dies easy, then it was never true love. In the midst of Shacago and Rosé’s love-of-war is Shacago's little brother, Xavier. With dreams of becoming the next big name in Brooklyn, Xavier realizes that there’s one thing missing from his success: Shacago. More specifically, Shacago's cache. Not afraid to lie, cheat, steal, or double cross, Xavier is determined to do whatever it takes to get Shacago to return to the game. Even if it means putting a knife if the one person that’s always had his back.

“With the immortality of ink, true love can never fade.” With his shop in ruins and his sanity hanging on by a single thread, Shacago Stanfield has the weight of the world on his shoulders with no hope of a better day in sight. As the new supplier for all of Brooklyn, his dreams of becoming the ink god of Brooklyn comes to a halt. Or so he thinks. With a new partnership intact that mixes his passion of turning art to ink, Shacago is forced to teeter between doing what he loves for money and doing what he hates, in order to maintain. As if that wasn’t enough, he still has to deal with the sudden loss of Parai, the girl with the pretty smile and beautiful heart that made him believe in love again. While the feelings they shared were genuine, Shacago finds out that their love story might be one for the history books for all the wrong reasons. Once loved for her beauty and body art, Rosé finds herself hated for being the sister of an alleged murderer. Rosé’s attempts to distance herself from Elijah are futile due to his knowledge of a very important piece of information: the real reason she fled New York five years ago. Refusing to cut Shacago deeper, Rosé is forced to align herself with his enemy, stabbing him in the back and leaving her to wonder if their relationship will be able to ever recover from such a lie. Despite her world spinning out of control, she feels safe having Marquise in her corner and she's convinced that they’ll live happily ever after until a surprise contender steps into the ring. In the midst of Shacago and Rosé’s problems is Xavier, the only one of the trio that appears to be thriving. After killing Quan and taking his seat at the table, Xavier is high on cloud nine until he finds out that Shacago is at the head of it. Feeling constantly tossed aside by his employer and snubbed by his brother, Xavier begins to make moves on Shacago’s legacy, vowing not to stop until he's the god of the streets. The only thing missing from his plan is an equally ruthless goddess to rule by his side. Until he meets Luscious. A soft spoken, smooth talking, tatted goddess with a vendetta, Luscious becomes the rock Xavier needs. But what he doesn’t know is that the woman who has became his favorite treat can easily become his poison. With secrets covered in lies, treachery disguised as loyalty, and emotional ties severed when physical bonds are created, will Shacago come out on top? Or will the inked god lose his crown?

“I need to make sure Yara’s really for me. She’s seen the good, had my back through the bad, and I need to know if she’ll stick around for the ugly.” Still reeling from Quade’s near-death experience, Yara handles being the girlfriend of a savage with kid gloves. She showers Quade with the affection he’s been missing while in exchange he gives her the loyalty she’s always craved. Fair exchange quickly becomes robbery when Quade demands more from Yara than she’s able to give, and sends her straight back to the dark times of her childhood. The monsters that haunted Yara’s childhood have nothing on Quade’s wild side, a side of him he’s always been able to suppress but never tame. When their relationship takes a devastating turn, Yara has to decide whether or not love will be enough to salvage a relationship that’s falling apart by the seams. Quade has always lived life recklessly, with his acceptance and encouragement of death a rare trait, but in the eye of the very thing he’s always welcomed with open arms, he finds a new reason to live for: Yara. Her beauty, kind heart, and smart mouth have given him a new reason to live, and only as he accepts it his life is put on the line. Yara helps nurse him back to health, which proves to be a high point in their relationship until they reach the ultimate low. Quade’s inner demons come out to play, demons that he hasn’t relived since he lost the first woman to ever love him unconditionally—his mother. With his actions speaking louder than his words, Quade has to fight one of the toughest battles of his life with an enemy equally as lethal as he is. If he loses, he stands to lose the very woman to make him breathe again. Known jokingly to everyone as an aspiring Griselda Blanco, Cash starts making serious money moves. She’s got a distributor in her pocket, her clientele is expanding, and the styling business she’s been dreaming of is nearly ready to launch. Cash goes from being a kept woman to keeping up with the Joneses, and for everything she has, only one thing is missing: a relationship with Savion Townsend. In order to keep their situationship thriving, Cash piles one lie on top of the other to the point where she doesn’t know what the truth is anymore. And once those money moves turn bloody, Cash finds out exactly how ruthless the game can be when she goes from being the one holding the gun to the one staring down the barrel of it. The second installment of When a Heartless Thug Holds Me Close weaves a story of being stuck on the wrong side of love. Will Quade be able to mend his relationship with Yara? Can Cash command the game and Savion’s heart? And most importantly, when given the opportunity to start over with a man that offers everything Quade has without the baggage will Yara accept, or does her love for Quade run deeper than she imagined?

Normani Pope has always dreamed of the day she would be able to live a life out of an Urban Fiction novel. An endless bankroll, access to the latest designer clothes, and the envy of every chick on the block are all part of her fantasies when she meets Ward, an up and coming dope boy. When Ward stakes a claim to the beautiful Normani, she accepts without hesitation, a decision she makes without considering the consequences that comes with dating a dope boy. The lifestyle Ward provides is as lavish as Normani expects, but she soon pays the price for being a thug’s solace when she’s the victim of a botched murder-suicide. Unable to return home, Normani is sent to live with her estranged aunt in Brooklyn. It is there that Normani lays eyes on a shiny red Lamborghini with no idea that its owner was going to change her life for better and worse. Uriah “Urban” Mackenzie has always been held in a high esteem throughout the streets, and not because of his charismatic charm, deep chocolate eyes, and politician’s smile. Urban is the head of “The Trust,” a prestigious crime organization known for running guns, human trafficking, and funneling millions of dollars in cocaine throughout the East Coast. Urban leads The Trust with an iron fist, refusing to allow anyone to one up him lest they deal with his wrath. He has New York City in the palm of his hand, with everyone bending to his will, except a bold and brazen Normani. Love has never been on Urban’s radar—even with a longtime girlfriend on his arm—but Normani’s beautiful eyes and damaged smile pulls him in. Soon Urban finds that he's willing to risk the life and legacy he’s built to see if the grass is truly greener on the other side.

This biography of the singer, actor, and fearless anti-racism activist is “so engaging that readers will crave a sequel” (Kirkus Reviews). A son of poor Jamaican immigrants who grew up in Depression-era Harlem, Harry Belafonte became the first black performer to gain artistic control over the representation of African Americans in commercial television and film. Forging connections with an astonishing array of consequential players on the American scene in the decades following World War II—from Paul Robeson to Ed Sullivan, John Kennedy to Stokely Carmichael—Belafonte established his place in American culture as a hugely popular singer, matinee idol, internationalist, and champion of civil rights, black pride, and black power. In Becoming Belafonte, Judith E. Smith presents the first full-length interpretive study of this multitalented artist. She sets Belafonte’s compelling story within a history of American race relations, black theater and film history, McCarthy-era hysteria, and the challenges of introducing multifaceted black culture in a moment of expanding media possibilities and constrained political expression. Smith traces Belafonte’s roots in the radical politics of the 1940s, his careful negotiation of the complex challenges of the Cold War 1950s, and his full flowering as a civil rights advocate and internationally acclaimed performer in the 1960s. In Smith’s account, Belafonte emerges as a relentless activist, a questing intellectual, and a tireless organizer—and a performer who never shied away from the dangerous crossroads where art and politics meet.

The second half of the twentieth century saw a great number of powerful vocal pairings as short-lived but undeniably magical collaborations. Dynamic Duets: The Best Pop Collaborations from 1955 to 1999 uncovers the stories behind 110 of the most memorable duets between otherwise independent musical artists. Whether the two artists came together for only one song or for many, the story of each duet’s inception, the collaboration process, and the song’s success and promotion paint a dynamic portrait of each artist and the music they created. Focusing on songs that made it into the Top 40 on Billboard’s Hot 100 between 1955 and 1999, this encyclopedic work includes such classics as Nat “King” Cole and Natalie Cole’s “Unforgettable,” Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney’s “The Girl Is Mine,” and Mick Jagger and David Bowie’s “Dancing in the Street.” Arranged alphabetically from Bryan Adams to Dottie West, the entries feature firsthand interviews with many of the artists, including Dolly Parton, Neil Sedaka, Eddie Money, and Billy Vera. The book also includes photographs of many of the records and/or the performers and chart and label information. An appendix lists honorable mentions of twosomes that did not reach Top 100 but should not be overlooked or those whose duet partners played more of a minor role. As a chronicle of the best pop vocal pairings from the second half of the twentieth century, Dynamic Duets is a must-read for vinyl collectors, music historians, and classic hits radio DJs, and music lovers of all ages.

This month, as Sir Elton John celebrates his seventieth birthday, Backbeat Books is thrilled to announce the release of Donald Gibson's Elton John FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the Rocket Man. An exploration of Sir Elton's accolades alone could span several volumes: in a career spanning nearly five decades, he has sold over 250 million records worldwide, appeared in nearly 4 000 live performances, been inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and received multiple awards and nominations from the Academy, GRAMMYs, Oscars, and Tonys. How can one possibly hope to examine the life and times of this peerless singer-songwriter, the most successful solo artist Great Britain has ever produced and the third-most successful artist overall in American music history? Why, with Backbeat's acclaimed FAQ format, of course! Like every other volume in the FAQ series, Elton John FAQ is overflowing with enlightening data, compact histories, rare photographs and period ephemera, all organized into chapters equally suitable for a straight-through read or random perusal. Gibson touches on every major episode from Sir Elton's life, from his humble, and at times disheartening, childhood in the North London suburb of Pinner to his serendipitous meeting with lyricist Bernie Taupin, with whom he'd form a songwriting partnership that would ultimately rank alongside Lennon and McCartney in its success, and beyond. Scrutinizing the highs and lows of a life crammed with musical phases and sartorial changes, the book underscores not only the renowned musician's talents, but the truth behind tales that are familiar only to diehard fans.
