Long Beach rapper Tray Deee sat down for an exclusive interview with VladTV, where he opened up about the books he wrote and co-wrote while in prison.

Tha Eastsidaz rapper explains the premise behind his first book, "Streetz Gon Cry," which he co-wrote with fellow inmate Anthony Barrow. He says the book is about groups of fictional gangs, and how one of the characters tries to take control of his 'hood after getting out of prison. 

Vlad then asks about Tray's thoughts on 50 Cent making fun of Mayweather's alleged reading ability, and the rapper thinks that Fif shouldn't have done that in the public eye. He then sends a message to kids who think that reading is not important, saying that the skill is key to becoming an "exceptional rapper." 

Tray closes out the interview by speaking about his other two books, "Los Angeles Times Urban Tales," and Gregory Garrett's "Not on My Block." He explains that the books are currently under his Ave Money Publishing, but he has hopes of partnering with Snoop Approved Publications.
