Urban Fiction
Urban fiction, also known as street lit, ghetto fiction or hip hop lit, are generally crime stories centered on the difficult choices and often tragic outcomes of young people coming of age in gritty urban settings. Drugs, prostitution, and thug life all figure into these stories and depictions of sex and violence are often explicit.
