Enter The Babylon System Hits The Shelves
Pound Magazine Founders Unpack Gun Culture on to Pages
Enter the Babylon System, written by Pound Magazine co-founders Rodrigo Bascunan and Christian Pearce, hit the book shelves this week, and is sure to make an impact just like the subjects it covers. The book,written with a to the point, yet in depth, journalistic approach zeroes in on the relationship between hip hop and gun culture. In doing so, it uncovers a complex system which interweaves gun companies themselves, media, entertainment corporations and much more.
Taking over three years to research and write, Enter the Babylon System is sure to be, at least from a Canadian perspective, the definitive piece of work on the relationships between hip hop, gun culture, and society at large. By incorporating interviews with rappers such as 50 Cent, and Boot Camp Click, Toronto social workers and police officers, the gun companies themselves and tons of statistical data, the Pound editors provide a no stone unturned, and surprisingly unbiased account of this very touchy subject.
What else can we say.. get yourself some knowledge and go cop the book like that 'tec on your dresser'.

Enter The Babylon System
This book is fantastic. It really digs deep into the current state of gun culture and for an academic work (which is really what it is) it is very readable. Informative page-turners are a beautiful thing.
