An uplifting and candid memoir from thirteen-year-old YouTube sensation, boy-next-door heartthrob, and musical artist MattyB. “Don’t worry about what others think. Don’t try to be cool or be someone else or be this-that-or-the-other. Be you.” —MattyB Matthew David Morris, better known as MattyB, was virtually unknown just a few short years ago. After posting his first rap cover to YouTube at just seven years old, he quickly catapulted to record-breaking Internet stardom. Now thirteen, MattyB is an accomplished recording artist: he has sold out shows all over the world; appeared and performed on national television; recorded the smash hits “Right Now I’m Missing You,” “My Oh My,” and “New Kids”; is approaching 3 billion views on YouTube, and loves meeting his fans every step of the way. Although his success is more than he could have ever dreamed of, MattyB wants his fans to know that he’s a regular kid, just like you. In his first memoir, That’s a Rap, MattyB opens up about his journey so far, including what it’s like to go from the boy next door to a global sensation, grow up with a sister with Down syndrome (and how he uses his songs to spread awareness about it), the heart and soul that goes into making his music, and the importance of the Christian values that have kept him and his family grounded through every up and down along the way. Totally honest and 100 percent personal, That’s a Rap tells MattyB’s incredible story, offering B-Boys and B-Girls a look into his fun-loving, family-oriented, one-of-a-kind world.
