Beverly’s first novel, “Dodgers” was published by Crown on April 5 and is a unique urban caper — a coming-of-age tale about loyalty, betrayal and family ties set within hip-hop culture, TheWrap said. Elderkin has worked for years with top hip-hop artists, including Kanye West and Frank Ocean, and he directed the acclaimed “Game Before the Game” film presented by Beats by Dre.
