In the New York Times bestseller From Pieces to Weight, rap mogul
50 Cent, a.k.a. Curtis Jackson, lifts the veil on his complicated life,
from the murder of his mother when he was twelve, to hustling on the
streets; from the assassination attempt that nearly finished him to his
meteoric rise to the top of hip hop royalty.
This violent and introspective memoir reveals not only 50 Cent's story
but also the story of a generation of youth faced with hard choices and
very few options. It is a tale of sacrifice, transformation, and
redemption, but also one of hope, determination, and the power of self.
Told in 50's unique voice, the narrative drips with the raw insight,
street wisdom, and his struggle to survive at all costs--and behold the
riches of the American Dream.
