Description

An explosive graphic novel, tracing the events leading up to the death of one of modern music’s most charismatic performers. This book chronicles the triumphs & tragedies of the notorious hip-hop superstar Tupac Shakur, the figurehead of a musical movement that came to define black culture in America. Exploring the recesses of a racist, damaged country, the book takes the reader on a self-destructive ride through the violence, corruption & greed of a LA gone straight to hell. The marriage of Legg & McCarthy’s incendiary writing with Flameboy’s potent, gritty visuals produces a new perspective on the controversial events surrounding the rise of Death Row Records, the brutality of street gang warfare, & the poetry of murder set to a heavy break-beat.
