Hood Illustrated

Author Dwayne “Cooli Hi” Jones "Almost Famous"

We all are the sum of our choices. This book details my choices as well as the hand I was dealt to begin with. Since a small child I always had dreams of being famous through the channels of music but as we all know, you have a better chance finding a needle in a haystack than to make it big in the music business! Growing up in Baltimore City is a challenge all by itself and adding a damn near impossible dream to the mix, makes the challenge even greater. This is the story of how a young inner city kid willed his way from the hood to being featured on Sisqo’s (from Dru Hill) platinum selling single (Can I Live- Produced by: Teddy Riley) a two million dollar record deal with RCA and touring all over the world with notable artists such as The Backstreet Boys, Destiny’s Child, Nelly and many more! There’s no road map to superstardom so the path was unpredictable and a lot of times chaotic but the mission was accomplished. Or was it? Loyalty, betrayal, kidnapping & questionable murder mixed with bright lights, money, women, personal relationships, sacrifices, failure & success all are pertinent ingredients in the pot of gumbo I refer to as my life. This is the ugly truth of how I almost became famous.
