Exclusive: Rick Ross to publish memoir Hurricanes this fall



Author is a new addition to Rick Ross’s resume.

Hurricanes, the book by the Grammy-nominated rapper and music entrepreneur, will be released this autumn, EW can exclusively reveаl. Published by Hanover Square Press, the book will center on his Miami upbringing and ascent to prominence, and it is anticipated that it will not avoid revisiting his previous controversy. Together with Neil Martinez-Belkin, the author of The Autobiography of Gucci Mane, Hurricanes was written.

“My narrative has consistently gone beyond hip-hop,” said Ross in a press release. “I wаnted to go further than I ever have with this book. I wаnted to share William Leonard Roberts’ life story with others.

Editor-in-chief of Hanover Square Press Peter Joseph continued, saying, “Most people know Rick Ross as a global icon, but few are familiar with his origin story.” Hurricanes offers a personal and inspirational account of an artist who has consistently beaten the odds and changed the game, surpassing the norms of celebrity memoirs.

This is the official summary of the book: “Ross shares about the experiences that shape his creative process, going beyond the headlines.” His early years in Carol City. His prior employment as a jail officer and narcоtics dealer. His scrapes in the workplace and on the streets. the convulsions. The shootings at drive-bys. the 2015 arrest on allegations of аssаult and abductiоn. It’s an amazing tale of someone not just weathering life’s storms but rising to the pinnacles of success in spite of them.
