Book excerpt: Montayj's book, a poetry/Hip Hop collection, continues to follow in the footsteps of his previous works of covering true ghetto life. However, this work goes deeper in covering the pain and the joys of growing up in the hood through poetic song. It branches off from the normal path and creates a new path, a new world of creativity that stems from having experienced life at its lowest points, and life at its highest points. This can be seen in songs/poems such as the storytelling lost girl in 'Shattered Windows,' the love chasing 'Close 2 U,' the spiritually driven 'God Please Save Me,' or the relationship, good man promoting 'Comin' Home.' Each of the poems/songs in this work lives and breathe Hip Hop, and captures the essence of street poetry.This book epitomizes growing up Hip Hop, as it takes various topics, various struggles, genuine and ingenius rhyme patterns, and transform them into gems.
