What will the world be like twenty years from now? What if a
quick-witted sarcastic sportswriter for the remaining black-owned
newspaper in NYC awakes from a coma to find the future of Africa has now

hiphop-fiend-turned-sports writer must resolve in 21 Hustle—a.k.a. The Funkyhiphoopnautic,a fast-moving, funny, yet intense gaze into one of our possible near futures.
is a former near-great hiphop emcee, hoopster, and
journalist with a sick sense of humor, nasty jump shot and the ability

day job he spends his waning moments attempting to make sense out of
LIFE.
