I overcame significant adversity but I’m excited to be in a position to share my story and inspire others through my journey,” he said in a formal statement.
In an Instagram post he elaborated further on the what his fans can expect. “It is the most incredible read you will ever read in your life. This isn’t just a rapper’s story. This is talking about everything; police brutality, drug abuse, selling drugs, hustling, getting locked up, getting framed, getting betrayed, depression, Hip-Hop’s greatest moments” he revealed.
This book comes via Roc Lit 101; a subsidiary of Roc Nation. Roc Lit 101 is set to release a memoir from Yo Gotti this year as well as a criminal justice themed work from Meek Mill. The Book of Jose is currently available for pre-order here.
