Losing my cool

Book • 2009
In 'Losing My Cool', Thomas Chatterton Williams recounts his personal journey from being deeply entrenched in hip-hop culture during his youth to eventually embracing intellectualism and philosophy.

The book highlights the contrast between the values of hip-hop and those of his father, who emphasized education and literature.

Williams's transformation is a testament to the power of family influence and personal growth.
