Guvna B - Unpopular Culture

It is so important in life to have role models and to be inspired by individuals who are each following their paths while spreading positive vibes everywhere they go. Through Unpopular Culture, Guvna B is doing just this. He is a young, talented man who is leading by example.

Oliver Proudlock, reality TV star and founder of Serge DeNimes

I love this book. I love it because the writing carries weight from Isaacs real-life experiences. He could be performing to ten thousand in an arena or a hundred in a youth-club basement, yet he will still plaster it all over social media and give everything he has got because he cares about the next generation. He does what he does for the broken teenager rather than the fame, popularity or credit. You will enjoy this book; its raw, real and relevant to todays culture.

Dan Blythe, Youth and Young Adults Pastor, Hillsong London

Guvna B is a creative, credible and courageous voice to Millennials. Ive seen him speak to huge crowds on stage through his music, and Ive seen him speak off the stage, just as powerfully, into the lives of young people. Through the pages of this brilliant new book, hell speak directly to you telling you his story and encouraging you in yours. Unpopular Culture will help to refresh your world view, renew your mind and cheer you on as you live with purpose and passion for Christ.

Matt Redman, Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter

Ive known Guvna B for a while now and he is a very positive person. Im confident that if you read his book, it will inspire you and many other people too.

Dion Dublin, former England footballer

Guvna B is a great example for the youth and a very knowledgeable guy. Youll love Unpopular Culture.

Posty, GRM Daily

Guvna B genuinely cares about making an impact on young people. His passion, drive and dedication are an inspiration. With Unpopular Culture, he has some good stuff to say, trust me.

Naomi Scott, actress and singer

This book will totally take you into the depths of who Guvna B is. He is so honest on his journey. While reading this book, I found so many similarities. This book will inspire you and bring clarity about what your purpose is. No matter which path you choose, Guvna B encourages you to be a light and shine wherever you go.

Michelle Williams, Destinys Child

Guvna B has always stood out for me as being not only the kind of artist your parents would want you to listen to but also an artist most MCs would be scared to go toe to toe with. His music is a perfect balance of vibe, skill and deep messages, and a reflection of this book, so youll definitely enjoy it.

DJ Ace, BBC Radio 1Xtra

Guvna B has an amazing way with words and always has done as an artist, so to have his brilliant, wise words in print is a must-have for anyone who needs positivity in their life.

Alec Boateng, Head of A&R (Artists and Repertoire), Atlantic Records

Ive known Guvna B for a few years now but knew of his work before that. He is a man of the Church, yet reaches non-churchgoers because of his honest lyrics. Thats not an easy challenge but Guvna does it effortlessly. Unpopular Culture showcases moral character, decency and humility. Youll love it!
