New Book About Late Rapper Tupac

TUPAC SHAKUR: THE LIFE OF AN AMERICAN ICON

“His life had been a series of new addresses, hunger pangs, political meetings, and scary questions from FBI agents. Since early childhood, he had fought to survive.” — TUPAC SHAKUR: The Life of An American Icon

“Hip-hop’s greatest gifts and its heaviest burden—is its legacy of urban mythology.
