Living on Paper Street

About the Book

Living on Paper Street is a curiously prophetic and brilliant work by North Bergen, New Jersey rap artist Peter James. This book neatly encapsulates not only the hip hop culture but, also thoughtfully portrays the hopes, fears, and frustrations of a young man. Efforts were made to keep Peter’s words as original and intact as they were in his notebooks. A work of love and dedication which, shines through every page; this is simply a must have for any lover of poetry or rap.
