Exclusive: Read An Extract From Guvna B’s New Book ‘Unpopular Culture’
The MOBO-winning gospel rapper shares a chapter from his upcoming book.


In his new (and very first) book, Unpopular Culture, MOBO-winning gospel rapper Guvna B opens up about his struggles with loneliness, being unpopular and overly conscious about what others think of him. But, the crux of the story is celebrating being you—revelling in it, and owning it. In Guv's own words: "It really is time for unpopular culture to take the stage."
Unpopular Culture is due to hit stands on June 15, and, as a little taster, Guvna B sent Complex an exclusive extract from the book, which you can read right after the jump.
