The Emerald City Street Life : A Hip Hop Memoir

I wrote this book with a therapeutic approach to writing Hip Hop. Hip Hop on many occasions have taken a bad rap for the material and content that are displayed in the music. I find myself conflicted yet intrigued by what Hip Hop has done to our society. The many different times I had sat in my room, or my car writing rap verses just to encourage myself was plentiful. Sometimes I wrote just to ease someone else's pain. Other times I wrote just for the feeling I felt inside my soul. I wanted my audience to relate to the many rap verses that I began writing 3 decades ago. I hope that my material can be therapeutic to someone who understands what rap music's all about. Freedom of expression and Freedom of speech has allowed our voices to be heard through rap. Sometimes our voices may seem irrational to the problems that society has forced us into. Rage can have a positive effect on how Hip Hop portrays that rage. I hope that you enjoy the many rap verses that I put together. As An artist, you see my growth, as a young black male, you feel my struggle, as a rapper, you see my rhymes, and as a human being you feel my pain.
