About the book
The story
He has thirty-four followers, an "I'M HIM" shirt, and a plan to conquer Portland by any means necessary.
After an open-mic fiasco goes viral for all the wrong reasons, OH Well goes from delusional to dangerous, papering the city with fake headliner posters, burning rent money on promo, and chasing clout that keeps sprinting away.
When the local scene finally pushes back, he escalates to his boldest move yet: a manufactured feature from a dead rap legend. It could make him famous overnight, or bury him for good.
OH Well: The Rapper Who Would Do Anything for Fame is a sharp satire of hype culture, local music politics, and the attention economy. It follows one man's ego as he keeps rebranding disaster as destiny.
