We all are the sum of our choices. This book details my choices as well as the hand I was dealt to begin with. Since a small child I always had dreams of being famous through the channels of music but as we all know, you have a better chance finding a needle in a haystack than to make it big in the music business Growing up in Baltimore City is a challenge all by itself and adding a damn near impossible dream to the mix, makes the challenge even greater. This is the story of how a young inner city kid willed his way from the hood to being featured on a platinum selling single, a two million dollar record deal and touring all over the world. There's no road map to superstardom so the path was unpredictable and a lot of times chaotic but the mission was accomplished. Or was it?

This is the ugly truth of how I almost became famous.
