This book gives a critical perspective--it is written firsthand from a man currently incarcerated on Death Row in Raleigh, NC. Alim connected with Katz, a music professor at UNC, asking Katz to assist him in producing a rap album. This book shares some of Braxton's rap lyrics in addition to his story. Society tries to tell stories about who is locked up in America's prisons. This book is one way we can combat the stories told about those in prison by listening to stories from someone in prison--specifically someone with a death sentence. I recommend this book to people who enjoy music/rap, people who are interested in carceral issues, and especially for those who want to reexamine their prejudice/preconceptions about who someone on Death Row might be.
