“Animal is a masterpiece.” – Ronald “Slim” Williams, Co-CEO Cash Money Records/Cash Money Content
On October 2, 2012 Cash Money Content, the book publishing arm of the iconic record label Cash Money Records, home to multi-platinum artists Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne and Drake, will release the street novel, ANIMAL from the 2008 Black Press “Author of the Year” K’wan Foye. A complex and bloody tale from one of this generation’s most talented and gritty writers, the story follows Animal, the infamous fugitive from K’wan’s well-known Hood Rat Series, on a tragic trail of revenge. The novel takes the reader through the rugged streets of Puerto Rico to the scene of the original crime, Harlem, NY, following the footsteps of a ruthless murderer.
Animal survived both unfathomable abuse from his family and the unforgiving streets, but stilled learned to love. Infamous for turning at any moment into a cold-blooded killer, Animal is the product of the world we all live in. There but for the grace of God go . . . any of us.
The book poses the question, when pushed to the limit, is there an ANIMAL is all of us? Is there something that could push you to the breaking point of murder? Are you absolutely sure there isn’t?
ANIMAL, the first novel from K’wan to follow, Animal, his fan’s favorite character, is in stores October 2nd, and is a highly anticipated release. ANIMAL marks K’wan’s first release with Cash Money Content. K’wan’s previous novels include the bestsellers Welfare Wifeys, Section 8, Gutter, Still Hood, Hood Rat, Eve, Hoodlum and Street Dreams, all released by St. Martin’s Press.
K’wan has sold a cumulative 500,000 copies since penning his first novel.
