"Unfortunately making the greatest rap album of all time was to be
put on hold as the insidious Job Centre advisors had finally had
enough of my shit. I would be forced to sign up to one of the
town's two recruitment agencies, or I would be starved of weed
money." Leonard Swanson lives in an obscure north-western town -
the kind that "has a knack for swallowing you whole". He is
supposed to be making the greatest rap album of all time, Swan
Songs, but instead is forced to work in one of the town's
factories, "picking things up and putting them down for twelve
hours in a giant white room". Swan Songs follows Leonard as he
works, quits, signs on, and travels the country, playing in small
capacity venues for even smaller capacity audiences, for which he
gets "paid in booze, drugs and a night on a bed bug-ridden mattress
somebody dragged in from the street", all the while making the
album he thinks will change hip-hop forever. Part Alan Sillitoe and
part William Burroughs, UK rapper Lee Scott's debut novel,
partially based on his own experiences of becoming a rapper in
Runcorn, is an experimental and humorous modern satire about the
perils of being a hip-hop visionary far from the beaten track...
