Meatballs & Microphones: A True Story About Small Kitchens and Big Dreams Kindle Edition

Being a cook and a rapper is hard work. Thankfully there are drugs to make it better. They say out of all the aspiring rappers trying to make it, only 1% will ever find mainstream success. Gregory Patrick Travers pens a fiction-like memoir of the ups and downs of Vancouver rapper, joBlow. One of the 99% who didn’t. Set in the years 2010 to 2014, not only does the book give you a behind-the-scenes look at the world of underground hip hop and the politics of the chain restaurant industry, but it places you in the timeline of notable Canadian milestones like the 2011 Stanley Cup riots, the Occupy Movement, and the 2010 Olympics. Meatballs & Microphones is a raw look into how one man’s chase for fame led to the destruction of every personal relationship he ever held dear. From bad band breakups to his struggle with addiction, to being homeless in order to pay for his tour expenses, this book lifts the veil of glamour surrounding fame and focuses on the hardships and downfalls that come with it. "...one of the most compelling, gripping novels I have read in a long time..."- Amazon Review

About the Author

Gregory Patrick Travers is the author of "Meatballs & Microphones: A True Story about Small Kitchens and Big Dreams" and "Bald Guys: The Greatest Conspiracy Never Told", as well as being the main contributor and co-creator of roundfirelegends.net

Gregory comes from urban roots, and that imagery is reflected in his stories. Streetlife, class-warfare, and the soul's dark side are reoccurring themes, while fast-paced action, strong language, and charmingly imperfect characters remain the foundation of his work. If you're looking for gritty, shocking fiction, with twists and haunting payoffs, then this is an author worth picking through.

This author takes you on a journey that teaches you some incredible life lessons. This is one of the most compelling , gripping novels I have read in a long time. Not only does the character ride an emotional roller coaster but so do you as you read it.
An excellent read!

This book surprised me on how much of a page-turner it was. I felt connected to the author and wanted him to succeed. Lots of inspiration and laughs along the way. For anyone who has a sense of humor and would like a bit of insights into the world of franchise restaurant work and the Vancouver hip-hop underbelly. I would strongly recommend.
