Description
“Transfixing…[Wayne’s] prison diary is, above all, a testament to the irrepressibility of his charisma—his is a force that can never go dormant, even when it’s not plainly on display.” –The New Yorker
From rap superstar Lil Wayne comes Gone ’Til November, a deeply personal and revealing account of his time spent incarcerated on Rikers Island for eight months in 2010.
In 2010, recording artist Lil Wayne was at the height of his career. A fixture in the rap game for more than a decade, Lil Wayne (aka Weezy) had established himself as both a prolific musician and a savvy businessman, smashing long-held industry records, winning multiple Grammy Awards, and signing up-and-coming talent like Drake and Nicki Minaj to his Young Money label. All of this momentum came to a halt when he was convicted of possession of a firearm and sentenced to a yearlong stay at Rikers Island. Suddenly, the artist at the top of his game was now an inmate at the mercy of the American penal system. At long last, Gone ’Til November reveals the true story of what really happened while Wayne was behind bars, exploring everything from his daily rituals to his interactions with other inmates to how he was able to keep himself motivated and grateful. Taken directly from Wayne’s own journal, this intimate, personal account of his incarceration is an utterly humane look at the man behind the artist.

5By El Generale De La MafiaGreat readIf you look around and find yourself in hell, keep goin
5By Rich RillaLoved the book, I know it didn't touch into the depths of Wayne's personality, or why he thinks how he thinks. I'm sure with the monotony of prison days, they didn't differ too much to allow him to release a tell-all. I feel like this was an experience that opened his eyes to sobriety for someone who is surrounded by drugs 24/7. It was interesting and I feel like as a Wayne fan my money was well spent on this book, on how he approaches his craft and how prison put his real life in perspective. Good readA different view
5By ChelseaP09Reading this made me even love him more because it made me see a side of him that I thought didn't exist. People assume drugs and alcohol when they see or hear him but he is a talented,loving,creative individual. Major respect for Lil Wayne
