Ja Rule, actor, singer, songwriter, and one of the most
multi-dimensional rap artists of his time, tells his compelling
story-from his youth to his rise to international fame to his
transformative two years in Federal prison-and reveals the man
beneath the legend. Unruly is two stories that offer one complete
picture of a man and his world: the angry, fatherless rapper, Ja
Rule who was "raised by the streets"; and Jeffrey Atkins, the
insightful, reflective father and loyal husband who learned the
hard way how to be a good man. Filled with never-before-revealed
anecdotes and sixteen pages of black-and-white photos, Unruly shows
the determination that it takes to become a man in today's society.
Ja Rule considers the lack of role models for many young black men
today-a void that leads to bad choices and the wrong paths.
Recalling his youth, he illuminates the seductive pull of the
streets and the drug dealers who were his earliest role models.
Jeffrey Atkins offers practical wisdom-reflection, growth and hope
learned first-hand as an inmate, father, husband, and community
role model. He speaks fondly of men who inspired Unruly-the inmates
he met in prison whose misguided ideas of masculinity landed them
behind bars-and Louis Farrakhan who mediated the televised
encounter with Ja Rule's adversary, 50 Cent. Unruly is a
compelling, personal look at the duality and conflicts that arise
in the African-American male psyche from a man who has enjoyed
breathtaking fame and suffered heartbreaking misfortune.
