Everybody’s Fly is at once a memoir and cultural history. It is a love letter to the art of seeing, an account of a creative life, and a celebration of what it means to shape culture.
An exuberant recounting of how a culturally omnivorous kid from Brooklyn willed himself into the wider, shinier world—like Moss Hart’s Act One, but with beatboxing and cans of Krylon spray paint.
Captivating, fast-moving ... The language in Everybody’s Fly (written with the Vanity Fair contributing editor Mark Rozzo) is plain-spoken, no-nonsense, with a feel for the speed and action of the time ... A reminder that cultural transformation doesn’t just happen — that hip-hop’s radical energy, creativity and perspective also required leaders with the dreams and determination to push it forward, often in the face of resistance to art that was so Black and so strong.
