It’s also a love letter to Baltimore – to its artists, its crabs and its streets – and a Bildungsroman that finds its heroes in Lupe Fiasco and Frederick Douglass alike.Burney, a Baltimore native, culture critic, and essayist, guides us through a memoir about the art, whether films or paintings or song lyrics, that have informed his personal and professional trajectory. He writes about growing up amongst artists with Black family traditions rooted in the Chesapeake, his journey through fatherhood at 19, and then to New York, where he helped spearhead Vice’s coverage of lesser known rap and hip-hop artists otherwise left out of mainstream media coverage.

1 hour ago I was 31, burned out, and single. Would a string of dates with French men bring back my joie de vivre?

I was working 80-hour weeks and having no luck on the New York singles scene. A move to Europe opened my mind – and helped me find love in the most unexpected place“Tu es où?” I texted, peeking out the balcony to see if he was near. I checked my lipstick in the mirror over the mantelpiece. Then fretted whether my kindergarten-level French was off-putting.“I’m coming,” he texted. And before I could wonder about inviting a strange man to my home for a first date in a foreign country, Thomas knocked.
