A fixture in the rap game for more than a decade, Lil Wayne (aka Weezy) had established himself as both a prolific musician and a savvy businessman, smashing long-held industry records, winning multiple Grammy Awards, and signing up-and-coming talent like Drake and Nicki Minaj to his Young Money label. All of this momentum came to a halt when he was convicted of possession of a firearm and sentenced to a yearlong stay at Rikers Island. Suddenly, the artist at the top of his game was now an inmate at the mercy of the American penal system. At long last, \u003ci\u003eGone 'Til November\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the true story of what really happened while Wayne was behind bars, exploring everything from his daily rituals to his interactions with other inmates to how he was able to keep himself motivated and grateful. Taken directly from Wayne's own journal, this intimate, personal account of his incarceration is an utterly humane look at the man behind the artist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lil Wayne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0735212112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780735212114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Plume Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2016 pg. 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2016 pg. 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/25\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2016","brand":"Lil Wayne","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43988224737535,"sku":"9780735212114","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_699653d3-a820-467c-8d9f-503a3f8653ff.jpg?v=1683293318","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gone-til-november-lil-wayne-9780735212114","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
