The compelling debut, co-written with journalist Dart Adams, provides a complex portrait of one man and the various ways in which every social system that was supposed to help him failed him, while also delving into the psychology of immigrant gangs and the young men who fall into them. Sleiman was born in Lebanon during the 1982 bombardment and is a Palestinian. His family eventually moved to Denmark, but their new life there was far from perfect. Sleiman was subjected to domestic violence as well as social rejection as a Muslim immigrant. He eventually finds himself drawn to gang life.
Sleiman Nejim is a Danish rapper of Palestinian origin. He is known by the mononym Sleiman. He was born in Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp near Sidon, Lebanon. He immigrated to Denmark as a child and grew up in Askerod, a housing project in Hundige, a suburb south of Copenhagen. He joined the local gang Bloodz and ended up with a criminal record and jail time. After an assassination attempt on him, he left gang life. Dart Adams is a native Bostonian journalist, historian, lecturer and researcher. His work has appeared in various online and print publications including Complex, NPR, Mass Appeal, Okayplayer, Ebony, LEVEL, Boston Globe Magazine, and Boston Magazine. He' s also the owner/operator of Producers I Know/Fat Beats and hosted Dart Against Humanity and the Boston Legends Podcast.
