VINYL VOWS: A BIRTH OF HIP HOP LOVE STORY

(A Hip-Hop-Fueled Love Story of Graffiti Flames, Breakbeat Battles, and Bronx Redemption)

In the smoky pulse of 1980s South Bronx, where block parties blaze and subway trains roar with graffiti wildstyle, Maya “Tee” Robinson and Rosano “DJ Spin” Carter are born of beats, rhyme, and fire. She’s a fearless Boricua MC with paint-splattered hands and verses sharp enough to cut glass, dreaming of a future for her daughter and her voice. He’s a rising DJ with scuffed Jordans and soul-deep scratches, torn between fame’s lure and the neighborhood that raised him.

Their rivalry is the stuff of local legend, two talents clashing in cyphers and alleyways, dueling through mixtapes and murals. But when a courtroom sentence, a stolen kiss, and a phoenix mural ignite something deeper, their battle transforms into a slow-burning love story written in Krylon and kickdrums.

From bombed-out rooftops to The Roxy’s strobe-lit stage, from whispered regrets to fire-spitting anthems, Maya and Rosano fight for each other, their art, and a Bronx that refuses to break. Through heartbreak, police raids, industry vultures, and the shattering loss of a brother, they rise again and again, scarred but undefeated, bonded by beats and a daughter who dances in the spaces between their verses.

As hip-hop explodes from block to billboard, they face a final choice: sell out or stand tall. In the end, only one thing matters, honoring the place, the people, and the sound that made them.

Vinyl Vows: A Birth of Hip Hop Love Story is a soaring, defiant romance set during hip-hop’s incandescent birth. A story of love born on linoleum, shaped by loss, and spun on turntables, this standalone novel in the Soundtracks of Our Love series is a tribute to the streets that sparked a revolution, and the hearts that beat beneath the break. Perfect for fans of The Get Down, Roxanne Roxanne, and Love Jones, it’s a ride-or-die mixtape of resistance, rhythm, and the kind of love that never drops the mic.

Turn it up. Let it play. This is where it all begins.
