About this listen

From the ghetto paved and unpaved streets of Indianapolis, Indiana, this book begins telling the story of one fat kid's rise from the projects, to his fall serving over seven years in as many prisons, and how he was able to come out a prison scholar. That led to him to writing 18 phenomenal books about redemption and attending Georgia State University, graduating number one in his undergraduate class. He earned a 4.13 GPA and went on to grad school, where he excelled, graduating at top of his class, before becoming a very popular African-American Studies professor at Georgia State University.

As a young male growing up in the streets of Indianapolis, Indiana, and Atlanta, Georgia, Elbert Lee Frazier learned the hustle game early on—

hustle to get ahead, hustle to thrive, hustle to survive. Despite a strong-willed mother who worked tirelessly to get him to tap into his potential, and a hard-nosed father determined to beat him onto a crooked and narrow, often confusing, path? It would be the streets where Elbert would get his education.

Told in three stages, Birth of a Street Hustler is a riveting coming of age autobiography about an African-American boy's journey from childHOOD to boyHOOD. Book 1 examines how social structures and imagery exacerbates self-loathing in Black boys. With an in-depth look into Elbert Lee's early life, the story focuses on how so many young Black male children are miseducated into thinking that they are less than human, and how they feel the need to do whatever it takes to be recognized as human.
