Press Release Body =

NEW YORK- Any parent or teacher can attest that rap has birthed a whole different
language that lives on the tongues of America\'s youth. Anyone who thinks 50 Cent is
something one uses to buy a soda or Eminem is a little candy-shelled treat needs to
get their mitts on STREET TALK: Da Official Guide to Hip-Hop & Urban Slanguage (now
available through AuthorHouse.com), the definitive hip-hop and urban dictionary by
Randy \"Moe Deezy\" Kearse.

\"If you have had a hard time following or keeping up with the fast pace of hip-hop
and urban \'street\' lingo then [this] is the book for you. STREET TALK simplifies
this often-complex and gritty language in an easy-to-read, easy-to-follow way,\"
Kearse says.

Move over Webster because STREET TALK is a comprehensive reference guide that
redefines the English language. Kearse interprets the urban vernacular used by those
immersed in the hip-hop culture. Whether from rap lyrics or off the streets, Kearse
covers everything over the course of more than 700 pages and 10,000 entries. Written
in the same manner as a normal dictionary, the book includes phonetic pronunciation,
word origin, contextual examples and clear, concise definitions so the most inept
person can \"holler\" with \"dime pieces\", \"dukes\" or any of their young \"duns\". The
following offers a glimpse inside the covers of this enlightening cultural
dictionary:

STREET TALK \'got the hook-up\" for all the urban lingo. Educators, parents, and
anyone who interacts with young people can now decipher the covert words, phrases
and meanings \"bumping in thier Benzes, Jeeps and Geos\" and \"spittin\" from thier
mouths. Kearse\'s definitive guide is already earning praises from critics from the
\"Dirty South\" to the West Coast and East Coast and all points in between.

\"STREET TALK is the official \'street\' thesaurus.\" J.M. Benjamin, author of Down In
The Dirty, says. \"Everyone from the \'hood to Hollywood should own a copy, especially
if you\'re ready to step ya talk-game.\"

With his finger \"on the pulse of hip-hop and urban culture,\" Kearse is a true
\"slanguist\" born and raised in the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y. From an early age, his
\"verbal aptitude\" has allowed him to stand out among his peers.

With the publication of STREET TALK, Kearse has given hip-hop its fifth element,
which consists of \"DJing, breakdancing, rhyming, graffiti, and now \'Slanguage\'\".
