24-Carat Black's Ghetto: Misfortune's Wealth

The band's remarkable story has never been told in any substantial journalistic detail. Focuses on the larger issue of sampling, and involves successful rap and hip-hop acts including Kendrick Lamar, JAY-Z, Eric B & Rakim, and Digable Planets--all of whom have sampled Ghetto, and some of whom will be interviewed for this book. Primarily a work of original narrative journalism. The author has gained the trust and familiarity of most of the surviving members of 24-Carat Black through prior reporting on the band.
