BEHIND THOSE BOOKS TRAILER WITH KAVEN BROWN



This week, Pink Noire is switching up things. Instead of posting the usual interview on books, secret quirks, and the turning points of an artist life; I want to show you a trailer as to why I created The Lounge in the first place.

Now for a moment, think of the name “Urban Literature”, what is the first thing that comes to mind?

Hood books or how about street literature? Some have accused the genre as glamorizing the realities of drugs and sex? Or suggesting -- as broad as Urban Literature is -- has no place even being called literature.

Is that so?

Now, how about your favorite movie and television shows? Think of what’s hot, especially what you’ve been tweeting lately. Empire is a good one or Scandal. Both shows are a must watch; they’re ratings giants with darn good writing. Or how about your favorite movies, do you remember the Al Pacino classic, Scarface? I understand that did well at the box office.

My point with these comparisons: there are no comparisons.

In this trailer below, Pink Noire’s featured artist, Kaven Brown, conveys the God-honest reality of what’s behind the books. And really, what’s behind the books aren’t different of what’s on television.

I guess you will have to see trailer for yourself, and then read our interview here in The Lounge later this month. And hopefully -- just hopefully, minds will be change.
