Add "author" to the list of titles Lil Wayne will have assumed by the time his legendary life comes to an end. Come October the rapper, born Dwayne Carter Jr., will get as up close and personal as he ever has on a record, when he releases a book penned while serving an eight month prison bid on Rikers Island.
The memoir, titled "Gone 'Till November: A Journal Of Rikers Island," will provide the thousands of fans who wrote Wayne during his incarceration, and the thousands who waited loyally for his return, details into his experiences and relationships built while behind bars in 2010. Wayne would be granted early release from a one-year sentence he incurred after pleading guilty in connection with gun found on his tour bus three years prior. The 176-page account should provide a scope into what it was like for Wayne working suicide-watch patrol over vulnerable inmates and his later time in solitary confinement.
"Gone 'Till November: A Journal Of Rikers Island," is set to hit book stores on October 11. In a press release about the manuscript, Publisher Penguin Random House writes of it being a "deeply personal and revealing account of his time spent incarcerated on Rikers Island for eight months in 2010.” The book can be pre-ordered on the Penguin, Amazon and Barnes & Noble websites today.
