HUSTLE HARDER, HUSTLE SMARTER

At the start of this touching audiobook, Curtis Jackson, known as the rapper 50 Cent, says that while he's never been shy talking about his success, he's screwed up many things and is reluctant to call himself an expert on life. Yet his achievements in the entertainment world and his harrowing life as a drug dealer before that taught him lessons on managing himself and his relationships that sound authentic and powerful. Narrating his down-to-earth writing, he's an appealing teacher, a straight-shooting friend whose vocal clarity and audible humility make his story accessible to a wide audience. This is hard-earned wisdom, expressed with the relaxed power of someone with street cred, executive savvy, and a quiet passion for maintaining his edge.
