About this listen

Includes an audiobook-exclusive interview with Guvna B by TV and radio presenter Nihal Arthanayake!

Men are bold. Men are brave. Men are strong in the face of fear. But what happens when that strength crumbles?

Growing up on a council estate in East London, rapper Guvna B thought he knew everything he needed to know about what it means to be a man. But when a personal tragedy sent him reeling, he knew he had to face these assumptions head on if he was going to be able to overcome his grief.

In this intimate, honest and unflinching memoir, Guvna B draws on his personal experiences to explore how toxic masculinity affects young men today. Exploring ideas of male identity, UNSPOKEN is an inspirational account of Guvna’s journey.

An excellent read that delves into the uncharter waters of the modern man. It breaks down barriers of race and class and connects people on an emotional level. It speaks in the universal language of grief and above all shines hope on times that can be filled with despair. As an addition, Guvna has been able to skillfully articulate complex issues with youth culture and violence today that would hold up in Parliament and his concept of 'It takes a village' should seriously be taken into consideration by the powers that be.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. 👏🏽
