In an unprecedented move, we here at TRU Publishing are pleased to announce the release of Lifestyles of The Ghetto Fabulous by authors Derrick O’neal and DUTCH. Fans of TRU Publishing will connect immediately with this project because it was originally released under the title Grown and Gangsta and marketed under the name of Miami based rapper, Jacki-O. Jacki-O came aboard TRU Publishing with a mantra of flare and what we saw as the adept qualities of what we needed to give the Grown and Gangsta project a flesh look for our readers. Unfortunately, Jacki-O’s career ambitions didn’t have the room that the Grown and Gangsta project needed to sustain heights for which we knew the project could go and for that reason alone, management made the decision to re-release the magnetic tale under a new title and now under the names of the true authors, Derrick O’neal and DUTCH.
