From March to November 2010, Lil Wayne spent what ended up being a legendary, if not lenient, eight months in prison at Rikers Island on a gun charge. From eating beef jerky to getting his iPod confiscated, the harrowing time forever impacted Weezy’s career and personal life.

On November 28th, 2012, Weezy will shed light on his time in lock-up with the release of his own memoirs. Aptly titled Gone Till November, the book will utilize Wayne’s diary entries to create an “internal monologue” that promises to be “revealing,” according to Ben Greenberg of Grand Central Publishing.

Below, check out Wayne in the music video to the remix of Drake’s “The Motto” below.
