The future looks bleak. The present feels hopeless. Yet, for two young African-American brothers from the slums of New York City, failure is not an option. Experience a once-in-a-lifetime, true story of how courage, desperation, and a love for Hip-Hop shaped music history.

Author Kenny Parker is the renowned deejay for the groundbreaking Hip-Hop act Boogie Down Productions. He provides a first-hand account detailing how he and his older brother, the iconic rapper KRS-One, escaped crime, extreme poverty, brutal violence, and betrayal to carve out an unparalleled musical legacy. The listener gets a glimpse into a dysfunctional family's rollercoaster ride through "The Crime Capital of America" - 1970's & 80's New York City and how living legend KRS-One overcame enormous odds to rise from a homeless teen to a Rap superstar. Kenny, whose musical career spans over three decades, gives a behind-the-scenes look into Rap Music's evolution and reveals never-before-told stories from Hip-Hop's golden era. Whether you're a casual music fan, a Hip-Hop historian, or merely nostalgic about "Old School" New York City, this book is a must-listen.

"People think the 'Criminal Minded' album is the beginning of my story. For us, it's the end of a story."

-KRS-One

This is a great book with solid story. It captured a time when Hip Hop began.

Rising to the top

Fantastic story based on a Hip Hop pioneer. A very vivid story on growing up in New York in the 70's and 80's. This would make a great movie

A very ruff upbringing

I love this book. Out of the hundreds that I own, it is now my favorite. You will literally both laugh and cry (mostly laugh), and at the same time, relate. All while learning about the origins of the dominant American culture. BDP is hop-hop for us Generation Xers, and without Kenny and Kris, it would not exist. At least nowhere near its current form. If Kris is the mind of hip-hop, then Kenny is its heart. This book is a masterpiece and I will listen to it over and over for years to come. No other narrator but Kenny could have made it great. The words and narration are inseparable like no other book.

Hearing this account in Kenny's own voice was so much better than reading the physical book. I experienced the full range of emotions. A tragic, exciting journey told perfectly. Totally recommend.

An amazing account of an amazing journey!
