STREETLIFE — Jihad

Originally published as Wake Up Everybody in August 2000, and later published as Street Life in 2003, Streetlife has gone on to become a modern day classic that is taught in high schools and Universities through out the U.S. and in Germany. It is a humbling honor to have students and teachers studying my life story. I wanna thank all of you that have supported and now I just wanna give you the UNCUT version only in electronic format.STREET LIFE: My Story UNCUT is a journey into the struggle of a young black male raised in America's inner city streets. Not since Donald Goines and Claude Brown has there been a story written from the male perspective about the inner city streets that compares. As the merry-go-round of life in the hood is relived, explanations will become evident for the events and circumstances that lead so many to the prison-gates. In this true to life story a vivid, colorful picture is painted of why growing up in an environment where happiness is sought in the bottom of liquor bottles, needles and dope sacks is just ordinary life in the hood. Whenever one tries to break the cycle, unseen hands pull at him to continue the course he was conditioned to complete. It takes a conviction and lengthy prison stay for Jihad to change his thinking and change the course of his life.
