Lil Wayne is writing a book about his time doing time

New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne has entered the publishing game, with the release of his memoir Gone Till November. The book, due to be published this November, concerns his eight-month prison stay for gun possession. He was released in November 2010.

“We are thrilled to be publishing Wayne’s prison memoir,” said Ben Greenberg, executive editor at Grand Central Publishing. “He kept detailed journals of his inner and outer life while he was on Rikers Island, and they certainly tell a story. They are revealing.”
