“Fat Joe opens the book like a blockbuster movie, packed with tales of violence, drug-dealing, fast cars, and more. . . . [His] career has had its highs and lows, and he describes each in equally painstaking detail. . . . Though the lessons he has learned never came easy, he writes about them with the directness of someone who has come to terms with them. . . . The way he tells his story so far, the author seems ready [to] make his next big move. Fat Joe’s memoir reads just like his hits sound, brimming with flashy style, street smarts, and survivor’s strength.”—Kirkus Reviews
