From one of rap's most personal and evocative writers comes a
stirring memoir about how Boosie Badazz, one of the industry's most
controversial figures, was able to overcome insurmountable odds to
make his music dreams a reality. A Baton Rouge native who began
rapping at age fourteen, Boosie Badazz was already a cult hero in
Louisiana when, in 2009, he was sentenced to two years in prison.
The next year, he was indicted on even more serious charges,
eventually landing him on Death Row. Prosecutors played Boosie's
music in the courtroom in an attempt to paint him as a thug with no
chance of redemption. However, against overwhelming odds and the
backdrop of a social media campaign to #FreeBoosie, he was freed in
March of 2014 with a rare second chance to make his music dreams
come true. In this evocative and compelling memoir, Boosie explores
the relationship between his life on the streets with his ceaseless
tear through the rap industry. From near-death experiences to a
ruthless bout with kidney cancer to a life-threatening diabetes
diagnosis, Boosie has overcome remarkable challenges to make a name
for himself as one of rap's most influential voices. A redemptive
story with an urgent voice, Cross the Tracks is the survival tale
of a man who wasn't sure he would live to see another day...but who
rose from the ashes to change the rap industry forever.
