Authors: 50 Cent
I would like to thank as well Tony Yayo, Busta Rhymes, Paul Rosenberg (president of Shady Records and Eminem’s manager), the novelist Nikki Turner, Quincy Jones III, and Kevin and Tiffany Chiles over at DonDiva.
I would like to give special mention to George “June” Bishop for giving me the Southside tour and helping me understand the rich world of hustling.
Finally, for their immeasurable support during the writing of the book, I would like to thank my mother, Laurette; my sister, Leslie; and, as always, my cat, Brutus.
