The World According to Pretty Toney
By Ghostface Killah
|
"For all y’all smart dumb cats out there." Legendary Hip Hop artist Ghostface Killah settles into one of his most popular characters, Pretty Toney, and offers readers a hilariously unique perspective on life via guides to and advice on everything from sex to gambling, family to education, even how to eat on just $5 a day, better known as The Hustler’s Diet. A singular twist on Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People for the hip hop generation complete with illustrative photos. Born as a series of shorts on MTV2, Pretty Toney and his musings quickly became a channel and online hit, with fans uploading the shorts on YouTube and circulating them virally. The book will also include a CD of Ghostface reading the material, the perfect accompaniment to enjoying the book.
About the author:
As one of the original members of the seminal '90s rap crew the Wu-Tang Clan, Ghostface Killah made an impact before he released his debut album, Ironman, late in 1996. Like all members of the Wu-Tang Clan, the rapper used the group as a launching pad for a successful solo career and Ironman debuted at number two on the pop chart. His work with Wu-Tang continues, as does his solo career. His 2006 album Fishscale was a top ten hit and on many top ten lists for album of the year.
