"Great book about two young men who overcame their dysfunctional family life. One played college basketball on a scholarship and the other became the rapper KRSONE. Thru this book I relived my youth from the mid 80s. What is remarkable is KRS is still making music at over 50 years old." — Sep 01, 2023 10:18PM
