The poor die sooner. Blacks die sooner. And poor urban Blacks die sooner than almost all other Americans.

 Mama Might Be Better Off Dead immerses listeners in the lives of four generations of a poor, African-American family in the neighborhood, who are beset with the devastating illnesses that are all too common in America's inner-cities.
