Ghetto brother - Julian Voloj

From the seemingly bombed-out ravages of his neighbourhood, wracked by drugs, poverty and violence, Benjy manages to extract an incredibly positive energy: his gang is multi-racial and peacemaking. Amongst its many accomplishments: weekly concerts on the asphalt of the streets or in abandoned buildings which see the emergence of hip-hop. Ghetto Brother is the latest vital addition to a new wave of hip-hop / graphic novel crossovers for fans of the Hip Hop Family Tree series (Fantagraphics, also available from Turnaround).
