Peace my people, this is week 3! I'm giving you some weekly insight on some books in my collection. I got "Do You" in 2011 and read most of this on the flight to and from France when I toured there. Run DMC is the first group I remember being iconic and influential. Russell was always intriguing to me, especially because as a kid I got some insight into his role in their career and how he built Def Jam when I saw Krush Groove, which was special to me. This book opened the doors to some ideas beyond music and business, it's a self-help book that offers practical advice for personal growth and achievement.
