Overview

Growing up in the heart of South Jamaica Queens wasn't for the faint of heart. In a neighborhood where gunshots replaced alarm clocks and the streets had their own set of laws, survival wasn't guaranteed for anyone. But in the middle of all that chaos, something extraordinary was taking shape right in front of my eyes. His name was 50 Cent. In Chess Moves: Growing Up in 50 Cent's World, author Handsome King takes you on a raw and unfiltered journey through the streets that built a legend. From the danger zones of 40 Projects to the lively culture of Jamaica Avenue and The Colosseum Mall, this is a firsthand account of a world that most people only think they know. Discover the untold story of a spy operation inside a Queens recording studio that revealed just how deeply strategic 50 Cent's mind really was. Experience the tension of a face to face encounter with Bang Em Smurf and fifteen other guys on a sunny Saturday afternoon that could have ended very differently. And understand what it truly means when they say he plays his enemies like pawns on a chess board. This isn't journalism. This isn't speculation. Everything in here is based on the truth. Short. Raw. Real. A Queens story that will leave you thinking long after the last page.
