MF Grimm, a rapper and producer who has worked with, among others, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Warren G., has been witness to the birth of hip-hop in New York. He tells us the tale of this exciting period of American culture, along with all of the dramatic excesses that came with it: easy money, drug trafficking, shootings, jail… Without ever indulging in self-pity or attempting to justify himself, this man, who is now a paraplegic and who has been to prison, sheds light on a musical era and gives readers a powerful life lesson. A great story of redemption.
