Summary

Hala Taha had the hip-hop world at her fingertips as an intern at New York’s Hot97, working pro-bono for Angie Martinez and meeting stars such as Jennifer Lopez, Drake and Chris Brown. But being passed over for a job she believed she earned soured her, resulting in her dismissal and forcing her to make her own path. True Underdog Jayson Waller uncovers how Taha had the last laugh over her old employer and how her side hustle as host of the Young and Profiting Podcast has become her passion.
