Book Description

In The Arms of Baby Hop is a direct-no nonsense, but powerful expressive autobiographic collection of how hip hop music has shaped, inspired, redirected, and given strength to Mr. Kenny Attaway's life as he writes "I fell in love with hip-hop in 1985, and the love is still strong, the bond still is. With the exception of GOD and my mother hip-hop music has been the medicine needed for many sick and cinematic nights. Over the last 20 years many situations have arrived and without GOD, mom, and the music I know I would not be here to be telling you shit. My music helped me to understand many of the unkind facets of life such as death, discrimination, low self-esteem, poverty and whatever else your mind can fester to throw in the melting pot. Hip-hop has helped me to remember to forget, accept my reality, change my reality, and inspired me to change the world in some aspects. Thanks to hip-hop, excuse me baby hop, I have inspired and been inspired to set precedence in taking part in some of the most amazing things ever. In baby hop, I found a voice, a stage, a shoulder, a goal, a friend, but most importantly I found a purpose. With this book, In The Arms of Baby Hop, I found the strength, courage, and inspiration to open up and write about some of the most interpersonal experiences and road blocks in life over the last 20 years. I also found a way to thank baby hop for inspiring me not only to get through the road block, but to gyrate, giggle, respect the power of music and rejoice along the way. In short, I deliver to you In the Arms of Baby Hop: the unrecorded double LP (the rappin book).

Saving Mary


Book Description

Mary was standing in the doorway hiding from the rain when suddenly the door opened, and she almost fell inside. Catching herself, she entered what looked like a foyer to a restaurant. Looking around, she heard voices; and someone was saying, “Dad, you can’t do it. There has to be a better way.” An older man angrily replied, “There isn’t. Don’t you think I have tried to find one?” Startled, she heard steps coming toward her. “Get out of my way, son! The sooner I get it done, the sooner it will be over. Now move!” Realizing she would be caught eavesdropping, she turned quickly to leave, but the door wouldn’t open; it was stuck. Struggling, she heard, “Hey, who are you? Come back here!”




Stealing Justice


Book Description

From a single courtroom, one prosecutor’s courageous stand threatens to expose a vast conspiracy and take down some of the city’s most powerful people. Prosecutor Marisol Cuellar is ordered to facilitate the exoneration of a man wrongfully convicted of murder. Terry Jackson—known as T.J.—has spent nine years in prison for the murder of a young girl, and an exoneration is a key step toward his ability to recover millions of dollars for the wrongful conviction. At first glance, this exoneration case seems straightforward, but while preparing for the court hearing, Cuellar makes a startling discovery: the evidence is overwhelming that T.J. is indeed guilty. Armed with this information, Cuellar shocks everyone at the hearing by calling key witnesses and bringing forward evidence of corruption at the top of her own office and beyond. She leaves the courtroom that day with her career in jeopardy; soon after, someone tries to kill her, and she’s forced to go underground to survive. This unprecedented investigation takes the reader through a seamy intersection of crime, law, and politics in Chicago. With the help of a handful of elite cops, Cuellar races to expose the truth and save her career before she can be silenced for good.
