Fantastic collection of essays. This book is very informative! I do not usually read self-help books but this was perfect for my younger brother. My brother had a blast reading it. Music is a big part of his life and especially hip-hop/rap. He is always writing raps in his spare time and loves performing them for us and his friends. He loves how inspirational it was and the life skills provided that in this book. He feels motivated after finishing the book. The musical artists included are a great choice except for Travis Scott (horrible role model). The writing style and format keep my brother's attention and that is great because he is not a big reader. This is a perfect read for teens to enjoy. It gives solid advice. I hope others will find it useful aswell. Would definitely recommend. The book cover is and illustrations very eye-catching to him.
