LOS ANGELES, Jan 15 — Announced Thursday, famed US rapper Lil Wayne will release a memoir next November that chronicles his prison time spent on Rikers Island in 2010.

The Grammy-winning artist famously spent eight months (March to November) incarcerated on a gun charge.

Book publisher Grand Central Publishing, a division of Hachette Book Group, announced that the rapper’s account of life behind bars will be (aptly) titled Gone Till November.

“From eating beef jerky to getting his iPod confiscated, the harrowing time forever impacted Weezy’s career and personal life,” writes music website Consequence of Sound. The book hits retailers on November 28.

Wayne’s Tha Carter IV, released last September, charted at number one on Billboard’s US chart in its first week of sales. The album is Lil Wayne’s fourth in his Tha Carter series and features contributions from Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, Corey Gunz, and T-Pain.

Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III won a Grammy for Best Rap Album, debuted at number one on the US Billboard chart and has sold 3.2 million copies worldwide. — AFP/Relaxnews
