This story is written from the words of a rapper with the pen Smokey D. Fontaine. At the very beginning, we are honestly warned "Some names have been changed to protect the innocent, some characters and scenes are mixed up." Narration begins with childhood. We are immersed in the bleak world of a child who grew up without a father, undergoing periodic beatings from his mother and her cronies. We see how he grew and became angrier, as he first got into jail at the age of 10, how his street and spiritual components fought in him.
Living a life full of constant pain, a person without a patronymic discovered a talent for versification and believed in it. When he was a problem child, he robbed and stole. Over time, it turned out that his rap helps him to free himself from the accumulated pain. The main happiness in life for him was the meeting with his future wife Tasher-oy. She showed him boundless love, having passed with him through his addiction. She was always near, when his jaws were tightly tightened by wire for four months - he was so severely beaten on the street.
Reading this book will make you believe that everything DMX is talking about in its lyrics goes straight from the heart, that he knows what it is about. In addition, every kid who cherishes the desire to live a street life should read this. Any kind of romanticism of this kind quickly disappears.
