About this audiobook
Grammy Award-winning hip-hop artist, producer, and actor T.I. proved himself a powerful storyteller as well with the publication of his debut novel Power & Beauty. Now he follows up with his second riveting street-lit epic, Trouble & Triumph. T.I.’s explosive sequel picks up the story of Paul “Power” Clay and Tanya “Beauty” Long, as Power takes over his mentor-turned-arch-enemy’s street empire, looking to turn it legit, while Beauty rises ever-higher in a glamorous world of fashion and celebrity. An authentic voice of the street, in the vein of Sistah Souljah and other successful authors of contemporary African-American commercial fiction, T.I. is a rap music legend who has lived at every strata of society, and whose hard life experience adds truth and fire to Trouble & Triumph.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Beauty's whole vibe & background bore & annoy me. She's definitely a status-seeker, a user, & a bore. I don't wanna hear any more about her grand opening, grand closing situationships & marriages! Tired of the mind ties between her & Power, as well. I'd rather just hear the story from Power's POV, although Slim's character can be entertaining. Also, why does everybody in this story get murdered or keel over from a stroke or heart attack?? LOL. Sheesh. The colorism & color-struck descriptions of characters continue from the 1st audiobook..eh. This one is not as good as the 1st one, at this point.
