It's All Good

It's All Good

A gritty, graphic, and gripping exposÃ© of the underworld and its inhabitants,Â Itâ€™s All Goodâ€”presented here as an updated, 10th anniversary edition featuring a new edit and 40 never-before-seen photographs from the series of Boogie's widely acclaimed first monograph (Miss Rosen Editions/powerHouse Books, 2006)â€”chronicles the predators and the prey of New York City's drug game at the start of the new millennium.Â Shot in New York's most notorious neighborhoodsâ€”Bushwick, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Queensbridgeâ€”Boogie gained intimate access into a world few dare to venture, a world closed to outsiders, a world of crackheads, junkies, and gangsters. From the cops patrolling the project roofs to the addicts overdosing on the streets,Â Itâ€™s All GoodÂ captures urban life in stark, heart-stopping images and intense testimonials. Boogie brings us to a place few will escape, a place where the exit is one rock, one shot, one glock away.

"Ten years ago, when I was working on the original It's All Good, I never did contact sheets; I didn't even own a lightbox. I would look at the negative sheet by the light of the window and choose a couple of images to scan. Over the years, I realized how many images I missed, so many that should've been in the book from the beginning. IÂ still don't own a lightbox, but ten years ofÂ editingÂ experience counts for something!"
â€”Boogie

â€œA whole lot of initiations happen every day. You hear about them on the news, but you donâ€™t know it was an initiation. You hear about somebody getting shot somewhere in New York, and nobody knows why that person got shot; nine times out of ten it was a gang initiation. I am a three-star general in the Bloods, so I know whatâ€™s going on. The majority of crime in New York City is â€™cause of gangs; drugs, killings, stabbings, robberies, even the bullshit car theft, the fucking pettiest crimes and misdemeanors are all â€™cause of gangs.â€
