That was an incredible read. Such a commitment by the writer to spend this much of his life with them and to share a wider human experience. Thanks for sharing.

I love info pieces like this - journalists who really put themselves in a lot of potential danger to get the story. This was a fascinating and insightful look into how music is leveraged as a tool on the south side

Really good read. Well written, and as a non-American, it's always fascinating to read the true stories and see how different it is to what we see in the media about the US.
