Rakim and I have been working on a book about his life and his work for three years. This first-ever Toure Show live event stems from that book and from a collaboration with Fla- vorpill and WeWork. It was recorded at a WeWork space in Manhattan in front of a great crowd. I hope you learn some things that will help you rise.
