Fans of
Fat Joe will soon get a raw, intimate look at the “
All The Way Up” rapper’s life. This November, Joe will release his memoir
The Book Of Jose, which will detail the New York rapper’s upbringing and his rise to fame.
“
The Book Of Jose is more than just a book about my career,” Joe said in a statement. “It explores the darkest moments of my life — brushes with death, being locked up, losing friends, and dealing with depression — that shaped me as a man. I overcame significant adversity but I’m excited to be in a position to share my story and inspire others through my journey.”
Joe’s memoir arrives via Roc Lit 101, a publishing company from Jay-Z’s Roc Nation created in partnership with Random House Publishing. Additionally, Roc Lit 101 confirmed via
The Associated Press that Roc Lit 101
will also publish a memoir from Yo Gotti, a book on criminal injustice by Meek Mill, and a fantasy fiction title from Lil Uzi Vert.
Over the years, Joe has become known for hits like the Ashanti and Ja Rule collaboration “
What’s Luv?,” the
Lil Wayne-assisted “
Make It Rain,” and “
Lean Back,” with his Terror Squad crew. He was also a friend and frequent collaborator of rapper
Big Pun before the “
How We Roll” rapper’s untimely passing in 2000.
