Amid increasing hardship and limited employment options, poor urban youth are developing creative online strategies to make ends meet. Using such social media platforms as YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram, they're capitalizing on the public's fascination with the ghetto and gang violence. But with what consequences? Ballad of the Bullet follows the Corner Boys, a group of 30 or so young men on Chicago's South Side who have hitched their dreams of success to the creation of "drill music" (slang for "shooting music").

The writing is captivating and the story itself is remarkable. Stuart displays a level of both courage and empathy that is lacking from academia. This work is powerful precisely because of Stuart's clear devotion not only to the subject at hand but to the individual young men of whom he writes.
