Rapper Jay-Z will finally open his rhyme book with the upcoming release of his long-awaited published work, Decoded, set to drop this fall.
Scheduled for a November 16th release, Hov collaborated with ex-Source editor Dream Hampton for 336 pages looking at his life as a child to rap superstar.
Jay-Z talked about why he was reluctant to release the autobiographical work, even though it was completed several years ago. "It was too much. For the book, I was interviewed, people close to me were interviewed. So I was learning a lot of things I did not know as a child. he said that its not stuff that he has said in songs, just more detailed. A song is three minutes long. A book don't rhyme, with no time limit, so you can say exactly how everything happened.
in the book Jay-Z will also go into what he felt he was most affected by parts of Decoded that concerned his father, who abandoned the family when Jay-Z was 11. It was still wrong, at the end of the day, but he did stick around at a time where it was not particularly cool or popular, Jay-Z said. "He married my mom at a time when guys were just leaving and you would never even meet your dad. So it made me ease up a little bit in how I felt about my dad."
you can read more when the book drops,look out for it.
