One voice. One beat. One obsession.
Under the shadows of Queens, lyricist MC Malevolent and visionary beat producer DJ Loco rise from grimy recording booths to viral sensation. From underground rap battles to spotlight domination, they attempt to build an empire side by side, bound by loyalty forged in hunger and ambition. Until Portia Fairchild, a talented classical pianist, mysteriously steps into their lives with a composed exterior that both men crave. She was raised in a military family and is a gifted artist in her own right. Portia's nothing like the women desperate to be arm candy and instant fame to be in proximity to a rapper.
What starts as collaboration spirals into obsession.
As their fame rises and industry sharks circle, desire turns into a dangerous rivalry. What begins as fascination twists into obsession. Malevolent wants Portia's devotion not just to his music, but to him. He first set eyes on Portia while she worked as a receptionist at the recording studio. She was beautiful, quiet, and mysterious, which captured his heart. Simultaneously, Loco notices Porita's beauty, poise, and talents that he experienced first. She reminded him of someone he once loved. And now his deep desires altered his friendship with Malevolent to a rivalry that becomes chaotic.
The stakes rise, every glance becomes a challenge, every weakness a weapon, and touch becomes a betrayal. Portia's a force that threatens both men and becomes the most dangerous risk of all.
Fame tightens its grip. Secrets surface. Trust fractures. Brotherhood breaks under jealousy, and ambition turns violent. In a world where reputation is power and weakness means destruction, choosing her might cost them - everything.
Malevolent is a dark romance about obsession disguised as devotion, friendship destroyed by desire, and the brutal cost of choosing your heart over your history.
And when love turns into a battleground, someone always bleeds.
