Deadest Rapper Alive: The Rise of Lil' Wayne and the Fall of Urban Youth

Pastor Jomo K. Johnson’s book, “Deadest Rapper Alive: The Rise of Lil’ Wayne and the Fall of Urban Youth” is nationally distributed by Lulu Publishing and Amazon Books is now available for purchase.

“Deadest Rapper Alive” makes an eye-opening examination and social diagnosis of the Rap Music icon, Dwayne Carter a.k.a. Lil’ Wayne. By studying his image, content, persona, and lyrics, Pastor Johnson makes a dire plea of warning. He proposes that the music of Wayne is actually much more than beats and lyrics, but it is a philosophy that when followed will lead to extremely dangerous consequences in the lives of Urban Youth.

Written without the condemning spirit against the entire genre of Hip Hop that many ministers expound, “Deadest Rapper Alive” is an enlightened treatise that seeks to show how not only Rap music, but all music should fit into the lives of its hearers. Johnson writes in a clear but challenging tone, which shows the sociological, psychological, and spiritual effects of adhering to the philosophy of Lil’ Wayne. All the while Johnson, as a pastoral shepherd of sheep, seeks to lovingly persuade and lead the reader to a better understanding of this topic for the sake of their own well being. This is a must-read for parents of teenagers, Hip Hop music fans, and Urban Youth.
