Lamont 'U-God' Hawkins Livres

Unexpectedly moving ... An unusual degree of self-awareness about this fact. He describes how difficult it can be to maintain his craft and his confidence, a rare sort of candor in an art form typically premised on effortless cool. But the memoir's most endearing moments involve the small victories that come with surviving ... Raw feels cathartic, as Hawkins finds the language and perspective to reckon with his past. New Yorker
