Jacki-O to Release Novel Through C-Murder’s TRU Publishing
Miami native and former TVT Records artist Jacki-O is set to embark on a new career as an author with the upcoming release of her first book, a work of fiction called Grown & Gangsta. Scheduled to hit stores on February 15, the project will be the first release from C-Murder’s recently launched TRU Publishing. The book tells the story of six friends, Monique, Tatiana, Inch, Malcolm, Quentin and Iz, who support each other through trying times on the streets and in their personal lives. Grown & Gangsta is currently available for pre-order through Amazon.com and trupublishing.com. Here is an excerpt:
“The pop pop pop of the paparazzi’s cameras lit up the night like diamonds made of light. Each flash was like a bling. Many celebrities, athletes and popular rappers had come out to P-Nice’s Hampton mansion. P-Nice owned the hottest rap label in the game, Street Life Records, as well as the trendy clothing label Pierre Wear. To be invited to his Fourth of July party meant you were somebody in the industry or in the streets. Monique was of the former. She was the A & R rep. from the up and coming Harlem World Records and had been responsible for the signing of one of the best new singers in the game, Joi Black, and a rapper out of Jersey named Lucky Malone. Monique wasn’t a heavy weight by a long shot, neither was she raking in the dough, but her name was ringing bells and with the contacts she was making, she had her eyes on her own label.”

Itr’s a shame that we as BLACK PEOPLE DON”T support our people when they going something postive. I got the chance to read a little of the book and it is GREAT. She is also a great lyricist check her songs like people change, if i had a son, and she wanna be a stripper.
some of y’all most of grow up with a pedophiler as a father because a women is a gift from GOD to man. He put them her for us to cherish and love but all i see is men tearing them down, but like it comes around it goes around. you gon remember this when some man is beating down on your mother , sister, or even your on DAUGHTER

This is exactly why the youth continue to grow up stupid as shit.
“Monique wasn’t a heavy weight by a long shot, neither was she raking in the dough, but her name was ringing bells and with the contacts she was making, she had her eyes on her own label.”
Is this one sentence?
WTF is this?
“..neither was she raking in the dough,”
