Rapper Jeezy Speaks On His 8 Year Battle with Depression

Let me just say this, I’ve always loved myself some Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins, but I’m absolutely loving the man the rapstar is becoming.

Mr Snowman recently stopped by the Tamron Hall show to discuss his evolution & coming to terms with his previous battle with depression.

Author and crime historian Christian Cipollini is back with a new biographic novel and of course I had to share. He has teamed with Gorilla Convict to present this inventive masterpiece that only a true crime buff can appreciate.

I had the pleasure of receiving an advance copy of the comic storybook “LUCKY” which chronicles the rise and fall of the Italian mafia’s bad boy Lucky Luciano. The press packet also contains a book trailer which brings the project to life.

The graphic novel, which is now on Kickstarter, is illustrated by Yevgeniy Franstev.

If you grew enjoying comic books, this comic will bring back a bit of nostalgia. It has an incredibly vivid and colorful visual layout. The story line is intriguing and engaging from start to finish. Of course anything featuring the mafia is always going to be compelling.

Mix a little comic with a little gangster and bada bing! You’ve got LUCKY.

Check back later for a more in-depth review but in the meantime check out the official book trailer and become a backer.
