Agnew Smith

Gangster Rap music means different things to everyone; for some it's an uplifting reminder of any underdog's ability to prosper, to others it is a dangerous lyrical manifesto that inspires thousands to dabble in crime. To the protagonist in Agnew Smith's gripping novel, Make A Stand, it's a stark reminder that success often comes at a price. Everything plays out in this novel, which pulls no punches when unravelling one of today's most controversial subjects. Terry Freeman is a disgruntled computer salesman and talented musician who is attempting to fulfill his musical dreams through his popular band, Infinite Noise. It appears the sky is the limit for Infinite Noise until tragedy strikes, derailing Terry's and his band members' dreams of fame and success. Nearly two years later, Terry tries to put the tragedy behind him and rekindle the magic that propelled the band into one of the most well-known and hottest bands in Atlanta and the southeast. When Infinite Noise receives an offer to sign with a major record label, Terry thinks things are finally going his way until he discovers that success in the music industry sometimes comes with a very high price. He is confronted with an agonizing decision that will affect not only his music career, but also his life. Masterfully crafted by compelling new author, Agnew Smith, Make A Stand is a fiction novel that delves into gangster rap, black-on-black crime and some of the most controversial issues we face in today's society
