Rick Ross spills the tea on his rise to fame and life’s controversies in upcoming memoir, “Hurricanes”
Grammy award nominated rapper and music tycoon, Rick Ross will publish a memoir titled “Hurricanes” later this year.
The book will be centered on growing up in Miami, his journey to stardom and his several run-ins with the law. The rapper is writing the book in collaboration with Neil Martinez-Belkin who also worked with Gucci Mane on his book, “The Autpbiography of Gucci Mane”.
On the book, Ross said: “My story has always been deeper than rap. With this book I wanted to go deeper than I ever have. I wanted to tell people about the life of William Leonard Roberts.”
According to ew.com, the publishers of the book, Hanover Square Press, through their editorial director also added this: “Most people know Rick Ross as a global icon, but few are familiar with his origin story. “Hurricanes” transcends the conventions of celebrity memoir to offer an intimate and inspiring portrait of an artist who at every turn defied the odds and continues to change the game.”
Official Synopsis: “Ross moves beyond the headlines, opening up about the experiences that inform his creative process. His upbringing in Carol City. His past as both a drug dealer and correctional officer. His scuffles in the streets and in the industry. The seizures. The drive-by shootings. The 2015 arrest on kidnapping and assault charges. It is a remarkable story of not only surviving the storms of life but reaching the highest levels of achievement in spite of them.”
