BEYOND THE STREETS Publishing presents the first memoir from New York graffiti legend Henry 161.

1970s New York festered with graffiti and gangs--and Henry Medina had a hand in both worlds. As one of the city's first wall writers, he laid the foundation for generations to come. But his duties as Warlord of the Young Galaxies Gang, and an addiction to violence, lead him through a chaotic life of crime and regret.  This memoir is about choices--the roads not taken when one can't resist the calling of the streets.  In a genre full of wannabes and fiction, Medina trades the gun for a pen, taking readers on a brutal journey through time, across the country and deep into his soul.
