#9. Sentences: The Life of M.F. Grimm
Written by Percy Carey and Ronald Wimberly
M.F. Grimm was born Percy Carey, a New Yorker who grew up in the joyful, violent early days of hip-hop. A genius on the microphone, Grimm lost his freedom, and the use of his legs, to his second career as a drug dealer. He tells his story in this painfully honest, un-self-pitying graphic memoir, which tracks his dizzying rise (with cameos by P. Diddy, Dr. Dre, and many others), his terrifying flame-out, and his slow, painful resurrection.
