Born a Villain (Paperback)

As an MC, producer, and founding member of Chillin Villain Empire, Riddlore played a key role in the Good Life and Project Blowed—the epicenter of innovative underground hip hop. This collection features lyrics from 55 songs, classic photos, and an in-depth oral history of Riddlore and CVE. “Riddlore is a natural street poet—a ghetto philosopher. Definitely one of the best pure freestylers ever.”—Rifleman Ellay Khule “Riddlore always maintained his level of originality. The man is a lumberjack when he wants to chop—very concise annunciation and phrasing that plants seeds or cuts trees. Indeed, he's a modern day griot.”—Myka 9 (Freestyle Fellowship)
