Got our butts kicked in fights we were sorely outmatched for. Skipped school. Wrote poetry. We were honors and GATE kids who lost their way. My own high school graduation hinged on my repeated failure of Algebra 1, but at the last minute, the counselors decided that my computer science class — yes, the one where we learned to make cheesy greeting cards with clip art and cliches— counted as math, barely squeaking by while I watched as my best friend became valedictorian.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut here is where our stories diverged: She did not graduate. And yet, because of that punk rock resistance to conform to expectations, she turned her failure to an advantage and determination, first getting her G.E.D., then a B.A. in English Lit, and her J.D. from USC. She ditched the lucrative world of corporate law to become a punk rock deputy public defender, using her experience as a troubled youth as a springboard for empathy and advocacy. And now, once a writer, always a writer, she’s onward toward her MFA, and using her voice as a megaphone to call out the injustices she’s witness to every day in the courtroom, advocating for those the system seeks to silence and sweep under the rug.

Her odes both to recorded music and its sacred spaces of spirited encounter are at once a paean to ephemeral flashes of embodied experience and a work of preservation. Davis remembers to remember the raw feelings, smoke, dawn drunks, and impulsive energy of her moment, without forgetting its inscription into a broader political urgency.

Come the dawn of the Eighties, a handful of talented photographers finally began to pay attention, most notably Henry Chalfant, Martha Cooper, and Joe Conzo. In retrospect, it’s clear that each of them focused on a particular element or two of the multiform explosion of creativity that came to be called hip-hop. Henry zeroed in on graffiti. Martha devoted herself to graffiti and breakdancing. And the heart of Joe’s work documents the career of the Cold Crush Brothers. Uniquely Sophie Bramly, unlike the others, managed between 1982 and 1984 to put her arms around all four of the hip-hop elements: the emcees, deejays, graffiti artists, and breakdancers.” Bill Adler from the introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40573673701584,"sku":"","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/4201\/4416\/products\/yo_5bc2ad83-0ade-4bd3-ad6f-f2dcf435b013.jpg?v=1639777316"},{"product_id":"horde-of-two-i-knew-i-was-a-rebel-then-book-cd","title":"Horde Of Two - I Knew I Was A Rebel Then Book+CD","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHorde of Two’s \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI Knew I was a Rebel Then\u003c\/i\u003e features a six-song CD and an accompanying chapbook, which includes two intertwined stories on the nature of triumph, defeat and legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe CD’s centrepiece is a 22-minute song based on the life of Buenaventura Durruti, who died fighting fascism in Spain.
