American Street: The Mix Tape

A few months ago, a young lady by the name of Kiara Garrett came up with this really epic idea to create a thread of book recommendations based on albums you liked and was kind enough to post her recommendations on Twitter {@keyairruh}. Because I am naturally drawn to anything involving music, I saved the ones I was the most interested in for future reference and came up with a list of 6 that I wanted to read. 

Refer to the CA Blog to here to find out which books I'm reading from her list. 

Not only do I commend this young lady for executing such a dope concept, as well as the time, effort, and patience it must've taken to curate that list, I was also inspired to curate a play list of my own based on the book. If you read the book, I encourage you to listen to this mix tape or listen to the play list before you read the book; either way, they both make sense together, just like the album, Pretty Girls Like Trap Music did by the time I was done reading.
