"Mo' money, mo' problems" - The Notorious B.I.G
Fed up with being broke and overlooked for promotion at work, ambitious 24-year old web developer Yemi Abimbola, with help from his two best friends, Kwesi and Gavin - who both grew up with him in Hackney - decides to launch a Hip Hop, R'N'B, Bashment and Afrobeats club night called 'Flavours of Black.'
It becomes an overnight success, and suddenly the boys have a profitable events business. But it soon comes with challenges. Not only is their friendship tested when they start to attract fame and female attention but their personal lives begin to spiral out of control as well.
Soon, the three friends find themselves at odds with each other. As the hunger for money, women and status threatens to destroy their brotherhood forever, will Yemi, Kwesi and Gavin be able to transition from young black boys to responsible black men?
Written in a unique and entertaining style, Flavours of Black is a funny and heartfelt coming-of-age story. It explores themes of brotherhood, toxic masculinity, sex and ambition against the backdrop of East London's alcohol-fuelled raving culture.
