Unruly: The Highs and Lows of Becoming a Man

An artist of unwavering talent who has sold thirty million records worldwide, Ja Rule has enjoyed undreamed-of success and celebrity; yet his tribulations have visited upon him notoriety and unforgiving media attention.

Riveting and humorous, refreshing and surprising, full of powerful memories and lessons, Unruly reveals the real man behind the persona that dominates the stage and emerges from his music. In this emotional page-turner, Ja Rule honestly and unapologetically delves into the pain of being a fatherless child, raised by a single mother, and eventually growing to fulfill his dreams of becoming an iconic figure in hip-hop and beyond. He shares his humble and bold reflections on life, and he speaks with brutal candor of his own staggering mistakes, including gun possession, senseless violence, drug dealing, petty theft, substances and alcohol, and, ultimately, landing behind bars.

Now featuring black-and-white photos from his personal collection, Unruly reveals Ja Rule for the sensitive, loving person that he has become-and shows that the souls of young urban men are often unseen.
