But for Raheim, it’s a trip that promises to be both phat and frightening. As he struggles with being in love with another man for the first time, he must also come to terms
with the murder of his homeboy, Derrick “D.C.” Carter, and confront his father, who returns after abandoning him and his mother over sixteen years ago. Add his ever-curious fiveyear-old son, Junior, to the mix, and it’s no wonder Raheim doesn’t go mad crazy.
But he manages to survive it all–thanks to the passion and patience of the man he loves.

James Earl Hardy’s classic novel celebrates its 25th anniversary
Years before “homo thug” and “down low” became infamous catchphrases, Omar Little put the “G” in Gangsta on HBO’s critically acclaimed series The Wire, and Lil Nas X claimed a same gender loving space in pop music … there was B-Boy Blues.
Revisit or experience for the first time the story that ushered in the Africentric gay fiction genre, and put Black-on-Black male love on both the map and the bestseller lists!
Mitchell Crawford always wished, hoped, and dreamed for a RUFFNECK–a hiphop-lovin’, street-struttin’, cool posin’, crazy crotch-grabbin’ brotha. And he finally finds one in Raheim Rivers, who is a vision of lust: six feet tall and 215 pounds of
mocha-chocolate muscle. Mitchell knows Raheim will take him for a walk on the wild side, especially between the sheets. But he doesn’t count on getting behind Raheim’s mask–and finding someone he can love.

March 1995. As Raheim “Pooquie” Rivers juggles his increasingly hectic schedule as a supermodel, he is rocked by the news that one of his idols, NWA founder Eric “Eazy-E” Wright, has AIDS. His complacency shattered, Raheim gets tested for HIV
but keeps it a secret from his boifriend, Mitchell “Little Bit” Crawford. Meanwhile, life goes on: his son struggles in a new school and his high school sweetheart falls in love with a new man, while Mitchell becomes concerned about his moodiness
and withdrawal. As he has done so successfully with the other books in the B-Boy Blues series, Hardy draws his fascinating characters into the ferment of urgent societal issues. As the date of his test result draws near, Raheim’s fear and the
ongoing stigma of AIDS push him toward conflicting emotions and decisions.
