Rise of a Killah, Ghost's autobiography, is intense rather than comprehensive, looking back at his childhood in Staten Island, his commitment to his family (including a brother with muscular dystrophy) and lifelong sidekicks, how crime and violence have affected his life, his fellow Wu-Tang members, a formative touring trip to Japan in 1997, and his art. Some of the many evocative and exciting elements in the book are Ghost's lyrics-some printed, some included as pages from drugstore black composition notebooks with his hand-written raps-from the '90s, as well as roughly-designed Xeroxed posters for the Clan's earliest performances and throwdowns, great in-concert photographs, a range of shots of limited-edition shoes andclothing, and a newly-commissioned cartoon of an attack on Ghost by an intruder slinging not bullets but bleach. Rich with both story and imagery, some of it exclusive to this book, Rise Of A Killah is both visual record and a real-feel narrative of a performer's life"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Ghostface Killah $c (Rapper) $9 58749 610 20 $a Wu-Tang Clan (Musical group) $9 54232 650 0 $a Rap musicians $z United States $v Biography. $9 89133 941 $a 7 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716062650.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240716012731.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20240704010659.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240702042855.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240611031539.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240604014821.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240514010643.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4FF8374411B711EF80E88C4F22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
