The Beat Maker

by Ryan Salchert

When Chris, an average suburban teen, meets Phillip, an outsider, his world changes forever as does his taste in music. Chris falls in love with old school hip hop and the beats that accompany the rhymes, and soon he begins making his own beats. Through adversity and through heartbreak, Chris must decide how badly he wants to be involved in hip hop music, and ultimately, how badly he wants to become a hip hop producer.
