All October, WBGO is celebrating Newark, New Jersey's 350th Anniversary with stories from your friends, family and neighbors, all around the city. Khali Raymond is 17 years old, and he's has written six books. His experience in writing and self-publishing earned the recognition of Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka, who hosted his first official book signing at City Hall. Only a senior at East Side High School, Kahli already envisions a day where he'll be honored with a key to the city for his accomplishments. He sat down to talk about what life was like before he finished writing his first novel "The Ballad of Sidney Hill."
