Hip Hop Urban Fiction Some People live ordinary lives, while others live extraordinary lives. This young Bronx-kid, named Baser, decided early-on that he was going to be the latter. He began as an aspiring rapper, along with his becoming involved with a black militant group in Harlem. Baseer developed this revolutionary undertone, and his group began using their music to address the social ills that existed in their city. Eventually, that revolutionary mentality evolved into a criminal one for Baseer and Powerful. That's when they both began to engage in a life of petty crime, landing themselves behinds bars for a short stint.
