Lil Wayne’s long awaited memoir, “Gone ‘Til November: A Journal Of Riker’s Island”, is set to be released on October 11. The memoir will focus on the rapper’s time spent at Riker’s Island for criminal possession of a firearm and marijuana. In 2012, Wayne teased the book’s cover, and announced that it would be released in May 2013.
If you’re a die hard Lil Wayne fan, you can pre-order the hardcover book via Barnes and Noble, the Apple store, Penguin, Books a Million, and more for the price of $23 bucks. The book will be published by Penguin, who released the following statement, “From rap superstar Lil Wayne comes the long-awaited GONE ‘TIL NOVEMBER, a deeply personal and revealing account of his time spent incarcerated on Rikers Island for eight months in 2010.”
The 176 page read will be the first book to be released by the New Orleans rapper.
The following is an excerpt from the memoir: “This is the type of sh*t that a man never wants to find out when he’s locked up. Or, maybe so, cause only God knows what I would have done if I wasn’t locked up right now… I woke up feeling f*cked up about the f*cked up day that I had … finding out that she f*cked Drake was the absolute worst thing I could’ve ever found out. As a man, honestly, that sh*t hurt … and not because it was Drake, it could have been any man. It would’ve hurt the same.”
