Sophomore Slump

By Two Fingas

From the streets of south london an influential, ground breaking, game changing band rises, and falls

After taking all of their young lifetimes to become an overnight success, four friends and the underground band they've formed have 18mths to capture musical lightning in a bottle and do the impossible again. Sophmore Slump follows the youthful friendship between four young black men which provides the impetus for their musical adventure, and how it comes under pressure, as adult responsibilities and antagonism threaten to tear them apart. A treatise on black creativity, and how the making and listening to music is an essential part of being human, Sophmore Slump, with its gritty prose, staccato descriptions, and vivid terminology, unpacks the western fealty to the idea of the child genius, musical prodigy as well as examining the overwhelming weight that those caught in the spotlight of the idolatry of the overnight sensation, have to carry. A story not just about the transformative effects of fame, and it's deleterious effects on lifelong friendships, but also the journey that those who become famous go through. All Killer allows us to enjoy all of, the ups and downs, the bottles thrown and the bottles opened.
