520    "Fat Joe is a hip-hop legend, but this is not a tale of 
       celebrity; it is the story of Joseph Cartagena, a kid who 
       came of age in the South Bronx during its darkest years of
       drugs, violence, and abandonment, and how he navigated 
       that traumatizing landscape until he found-through art, 
       friendship, luck, and will-a rocky path to a different 
       life. Joe was born into a sprawling Puerto Rican and Cuban
       family in the projects of the South Bronx. From infancy 
       his life is threatened by violence, and by the time he 
       starts middle school, he is forced to make a life-shaping 
       choice: to be prey or predator. Soon, Joe and his crew 
       rise up to dominate the streets-dodging bullets and 
       betrayal all along the way-but he discovers his true 
       strength in the street corner ciphers where the Bronx's 
       wild energy took musical form. His identity splits in two:
       a hustler roaming record stores, looking for beats; a 
       budding rapper whose rep rings in the streets. As his day-
       to-day life becomes more and more fraught-he is shot and 
       almost killed and watches as family and friends fall to 
       prison, addiction, and even death-he gravitates toward the
       music that gives him both a voice to tell the stories of 
       his young life and the tools he needs to create a new one.
       The challenges never stopped-but neither did Joe"--
