The follow-up to his best-selling memoir Monster, Sanyika Shakur's T.H.U.G. L.I.F.E. is a vicious, heart-wrenching, and true-to-life book about an LA gang member that masterfully catches the violence and depravity of gang life. Shakur's protagonist is Lapeace, the first choice of the Eight Tray Crips gang in South Central Los Angeles. In a fatal gunfight with Anyhow, a Blood and Lapeace's competitor since years as a child, eight innocent civilians are wiped out. Anyhow is captured. Lapeace becomes a fugitive and he must hide out in the house of his girl Tashima, a hip-hop mogul, as a pair of crooked LA detectives, John Sweeney and Jesse Mendoza, try to monitor him down. This book was written from the confines of Shakur's jail cell, and the authenticity of its road views - the relentlessness of violence, the do-or-die attitude of each part of the gang battle, the sheer pleasure in the killing - is a testament to the hell that is most Shakur's life. With T.H.U.G. L.I.F.E., Shakur offers a robust and gripping account about the terror of gang life and one man's try to free himself.
