Brooklyn's Powerhouse Books launched its I Am Hip-Hop imprint with the man synonymous with the phrase: KRS-One. Having recently published The Gospel of Hip-Hop: First Instrument, the Boogie Down Productions co-founder-turned-author is touring New York and New Jersey to greet fans and readers of the effort.
Kris will be appearing at the following venues this week:
11/09/2009 · Barnes & Noble · Tribeca, NYC · 97 Warren Street · 7 p.m. Reading/Signing
11/10/2009 · Barnes & Noble · Livingston, NJ · 112 Eisenhower Parkway · 7 p.m. Reading/Signing

11/12/2009 · Barnes & Noble · Clifton, NJ · 395 Route 3 East · 7:30 p.m. Reading/Signing
The book publishers have said of The Gospel of Hip-Hop: "Set in the format of a self-help holy book, this 800-plus-page opus is a spiritual manual for citizens of Hip Hop Kulture that combines classic philosophy with faith and practical knowledge, for a fascinating, in-depth exploration of Hip Hop as a life path."
The book can be purchased at PowerhouseBooks.com/TheGospelofHipHop, including signed editions.
Less than two months, ago, KRS-One joined Buckshot in releasing a collaborative album, Survival Skills on Duck Down Records.
