Meet Maya Hope. Double-dipped in cocoa with brick house curves. A lover of jazz, a political
poet, and a sociologist, Maya believes that she’s going undercover in the wild world of hip hop as a social experiment.
She quickly discovers that she is going undercover to get a life. After making a deal with her own personal devil Maya
sets off on the tempting rollercoaster ride of a lifetime-- finding music, more fun than she’s ever had, and possibly
even a man. Sharing peeks at her motivational notebooks and blogs, we are right there in her experimental
life with her. On her fantabulous journey through the delicious world of temptation, the real question
is whether Maya really finds joy or loses herself? Every good girl needs to get a little bad sometimes, right?
Her best friend and roommate, Athena Jackson, is her opposite in every way-
a petite ex-cheerleader who's always blaring rap, grinding out rhymes, and ready to take the next man home. An
off the hook cast of colorful characters includes Luci, the diva deluxe, brand-addicted, manipulative publicist from hell; Shell the Boy Wonder, wonderkind entrepreneurial label mogul party boy, Thug, the gritty handsome hardcore rapper with something to prove, and Rob, the man with the master plan.
