I choose this independent reading book becuase I'm very interested in the rap game. This book follows the exploits of one of the most influential rappers of our time. Jay-Z is a globally known rapper and entrepreneur. I considered the topic of hustling and rapping to be very interesting so I chose the book. It was written by Jay Z which added to my interest in the book. I generally dont read this genre and its not part of a series but I decided to give it  a try. It has a really cool book cover with gold designs on it and I couldn't resist reading it.
