The story and experiences of a black man's journey to adulthood set against the backdrop of modern America. The book centers around Trevon Hobson's life starting with his dangerous and turbulent childhood. Born to an underage mother, Trevon's life would plunge into darkness with his mother's descent into addiction during the 1980's crack epidemic. Trevon would be pitted against extreme poverty, sexual abuse, and a never-ending cycle of being evicted. Finding himself in a place where hope was no longer a reality, Trevon slowly drifted down all the wrong roads. Poor choices and raising himself, took the young man close to the edge, where just beyond the field of vision, destruction was waiting patiently for him.

This book is a unique ride that talks openly about tough topics and offers real time reaction and commentary in places. The style is as unique as the subject matter. Fans of the Underground Culture will be treated with a different view of the scene that gets less sunlight but still has the undying will to persist. Music is the universal language of the Universe, and this is another installment in preserving these valuable social snap shots in time for future fans and eventually the Machine.
