The Art of Deceit

What was it like in the heyday of the hip-hop video vixen? Enter Tangie's world and find out how to master the art of deceit.

The glamorous world of hip-hop is filled with money, women, sex, and power, but it can also be deceiving. Stardom can be dangerous for the naive souls who rise to success without armor.

Tangie is the hottest thing to hit the video scene. Young, sexy, and dangerously appealing, she slithers her way into the hearts of many rappers, and into the wallets of even more. Her latest victim is hip-hop's newest sensation, Tay'von "Too Fine" Miller. Tay'von's record label tells him the public will deem his plus-sized girlfriend unworthy of a rising star. He needs a better-looking woman on his arm. He pulls Tangie into his world, hoping to use her for her looks. He plans to get rid of her when he is done, but he has highly underestimated her.

Tangie has no chill and shows no mercy to people like Shamika, the spiteful girlfriend of equally talented but not as successful rapper Black Dialect. She will stop at nothing to secure her lifestyle, even if that means shaking hands with a record label owner whom Tay'von has proclaimed a sworn enemy. Carmello wants Tay'von to sign to his record label, and Tangie wants to reach her ultimate goals: money, fame, and revenge! Together they hatch a plan that will give them both what they want.

What will happen when Tay'von, his bodyguard, the sexy R & B tour mate Amira, and Carmello all fall under Tangie's spell? Death, debauchery, and deceit. Now, if only everything would go as planned.
