https://www.amazon.com/Raw-My-Journe...596285&sr=8-16

The explosive, never-before-told story behind the historic rise of the Wu-Tang Clan, as told by one of its founding members, Lamont "U-God" Hawkins.

The Wu-Tang Clan is American hip-hop royalty. Rolling Stone called them the “best rap group ever” and their debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), is considered one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. Since 1992, the group has released seven gold and platinum studio albums and sports global sales of more than 40 million copies. In addition, nearly all the original members have gone on to have their own solo careers. How did nine kids from the Brownsville projects go from nothing to global icons?

Remarkably, no one has told their story―until now.

Raw is the incredible first-person account of one boy’s journey from the tough terrain of 1970s Brownsville, New York to international success and acclaim as a member of the Wu-Tang Clan. Part social history, part confessional, U-God’s intimate portrait of his early life and those of his Wu-Tang brothers paints an unfiltered and unforgettable account of how nine kids got out of the projects and went on to pioneer and transform the New York hip-hop scene forever.

The explosive, never-before-told story behind the historic rise of the Wu-Tang Clan, as told by one of its founding members, Lamont "U-God" Hawkins.

“It’s time to write down not only my legacy but also the story of nine dirt-bomb street thugs who took our everyday life—scrappin’ and hustlin’ and tryin’ to survive in the urban jungle of New York City—and turned that into something bigger than what we could possibly imagine, something that took us out of the projects for good, which was the only thing we all wanted in the first place.” —from Raw

The Wu-Tang Clan are considered hip-hop royalty. Remarkably, none of the founding members have told their story—until now. Lamont “U-God” Hawkins was born in Brownsville, New York, in 1970. Raised by a single mother and forced to reckon with the hostile conditions of project life, Lamont learned from an early age how to survive. And surviving in New York City in the 1970s and 1980s was no easy task—especially as a young black boy living in some of the city’s most ignored and destitute districts. But, along the way, he met and befriended what would eventually form the Clan’s core: RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah, and Masta Killa. Raised by the streets, and while bonding over their love of hip-hop, they sought to pursue the impossible: music as their ticket out of the ghetto.
