Author Eric Chambers’s New Book, “The Hip Hop Adventures of Blastboy,” Follows a Boombox Boy Who Faces Off Against Discrimination and the Neighborhood Bully of Jazztopia

Bronx, NY, April 11, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Eric Chambers, an artist, author, and hip-hop activist, has completed his new book, “The Hip Hop Adventures of Blastboy”: a touching story of acceptance and overcoming bully and discrimination that follows a young boombox who heads off to find new types of music to appreciate, but is turned away while trying to appreciate jazz in a new neighborhood.

Author Eric Chambers holds a BA in Fine Arts and an MA in Art Education. He loves being a public-school art teacher and fine artist, as well as a hip-hop activist. Even while he’s teaching his students about a wide range of art movements from abstract, realism, surrealism, expressionism, etc., he always finds a way to incorporate hip-hop culture and history into his lesson plans. He also has several paintings on exhibition at the Universal Hip-Hop Museum.

“One day the charming Boombox Boy known as Blastboy ventures out of the Boogie Down in search of different types of music to appreciate,” shares Chambers. “While on his quest, he’s drawn to the melodic sounds inside of Jazztopia, the hottest jazz spot in the neighborhood of Bebopville.

“From the moment Blastboy enters Jazztopia, he finds himself in several sticky situations ranging from having his hippity-hoppity music being rejected by the club’s grouchy owner, Gramps O’ Phone, to having to fight off Doombox, the mean and hungry neighborhood bully. The big question is, will he fail or prevail in the face of these adversities placed in front of him while in Jazztopia?”
