Suggested Reading
The rapper is calling the project an “Afro-Futurist novel that will be written entirely on twitter” and “published in chapters.” Sounds exciting. HotNewHipHop.com cobbled together all of his tweets so far and posted a transcript of the first chapter, called “Grits”:

Thick-legged, creole, tall…yeah she’s a real winner. I give her two months. I give him three. Two months before she wises up and figures out she’ll be here forever and three months before she puts a knife in his chest for it. That’s Neo-Harlem for you. That slow burn then that inferno. And you either wood or fire…aint no water just Gin to keep it goin.
