The History of Hip Hop is a powerful cultural and social history of the end of the 20th century, and a deeper look into a new world that America's hip-hop generation created for music lovers worldwide.

This cultural brilliance of sound presented a voice and unique mindset through the streets of New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and largest conurbations going as far back as the 1920s through dance. Sprung from the spirits of poverty, this inner city culture quickly uncovered an amazing bunch of young fresh American forces of nature eager to express their unique life narratives and contributed to a spirited new style of soul of "Black Americana"across cities in the USA, UK and cities worldwide.

Strong black women in America for centuries have been holding it down. As a progeny from you, I would like to personally thank our black sistas, black mothers and black leaders for raising us in a society which has been constant attempt to separate and marginalize our lives, cultures and livelihoods.
Although, we may not see eye-to-eye sometimes, we, black men, are more than ever greatly in need of your support, softness and advice in survival of these hellish times.
Sistas Stay Strong, is my personal dedication of celebrating black women in poetry from son to mother wherever you maybe on God's green Earth.

When life-long dreams become a horror noire, victims need satisfaction...
Recent high school graduate, Imtiyaaz Arief is eager to leave life behind in Indonesia. She's always coveted a fancier way of life abroad, and, at last, the perfect opportunity presents.
"Rich with opportunities in the hospitality field for girls like you, Dubai is the place to be," Imtiyaaz's told, giving her thoughts about a journey worth-taking. The strained relationship between Imtiyaaz and her father makes the decision much more easier.
But it becomes clear, upon arrival, that Imtiyaaz's new home isn't what she'd imagined. In fact, few bleaker fates undone could be fathomed under the scorching sun.
She's become the 'property' of a ruthless sex trafficking ring. With Imtiyaaz's documents seized, she faces an impossible decision: perform unspeakable acts...or risk losing her freedom in attempting escape. Complicit authorities are of no help, and, without a friend in the Middle Eastern lands or knowing the language, Imtiyaaz isn't alone in her ordeal.
Can Imtiyaaz defy the odds and beat the heinous house of undercover billionaire opportunists?
With an ever-growing subject that demands real-world dissection, Eric Reese knows balance well in revealing inconvenient truths; this woman's saga engenders an unspoken haunting dilemma that all must condemn.

One African's migration to Europe turns into a saga of slavery and living hell
Local soccer favorite "Aliou Messi" is the portrait of talent...but this, alone is not enough. The Arab Spring has ushered in a dark age for anyone seeking a way out of poverty. The chances are slim and every peril borders every path. Diaspora could crush much more than dreams of gaming glory.
When Aliou's father passes away, he's left to carry the family--a burden that makes dropping out of school a no-brainer. Aliou too must weigh a pressing marriage engagement. Pursuing ones' sustenance means risking it all--including at the expense of himself.
There does exist a bastion of order, but getting there is the dilemma. Known to fellow Gambians as 'The Backway', a daunting trek by foot across the sands of the Sahara represents Aliou's only hope. Can this teen, but yesterday a boy, find financial security in a land unknown except by colonization? Barely could a crossroads represent more inner-strife.
