Portrait of a Street Life: Do You Remember 1984 - Softcover
Wiz is a 17 year-old Puerto Rican kid growing up on the mean streets of North Philadelphia in the summer of 1984. He and his group of friends (the HIP HIP crew) are at the forefront of the Hip Hop movement and spend their time going to Jams, Break dancing, doing Graffiti, selling drugs, smoking weed, drinking liquor, chasing girls, running from the law and speeding down the freeways playing an extremely dangerous game of Car tag... then Wiz meets Nancy, a girl who gives him a taste of what the outside world could be like, and he begins looking at life with a new set of eyes.... But when deception threatens that romantic encounter, and an obnoxious kid named Brasso gets his sneakers and his pride scuffed, Wiz and the boys from the "Hip! Hip! Crew," find their summer of fun suddenly becoming a summer of survival. And any hopes that Wiz had of escaping his urban prison becomes nothing more than a fleeting dream. Welcome to the year 1984. This is a book that is loosely based on my life gro
