Read below to see what everyone is saying about my book... "Next Stop: Growing up Wild Style in The Bronx."
My last two trips to New York have been an amazing success and a dream come true! The Peace, Unity & Hope Concert Press Conference, Hanging with Luis Guzman & Crew, The Illegal Tender Movie Premiere with Casper Martinez, April Lee Hernandez, Xiomara Medina & Luis Guzman was insane. The ExtravaGangsta Platinum Party was all love, Mad Love to Lynx, RAS & Myk Jones! I'll keep working hard people... I'm on the right path!

On October 14, 2008 – I became the 4th Puerto Rican from New York to publish a memoir with a major publishing house – Simon & Schuster.
Piri Thomas was the first with, “Down These Mean Streets.†Edward Rivera was second with, “Family Installments: Memories of Growing up Hispanic,†and Esmeralda Santiago was the third with, “When I Was Puerto Rican.â€
I take my role as Puerto Rican writer extremely seriously and I will remain dedicated to continuing to write books that educate us about our histories.
My second book is co-authored with Luis “DJ Disco Wiz†Cedeno and will be released by powerHouse Book in June 2009. It’s titled, “It’s Just Begun: The Epic Journey of DJ Disco Wiz, Hip Hop’s First Latino DJ.†I’m proud to say it’s one of the greatest survival stories you will ever read.
I’ve also co-founded the “What Is Your Next Stop?†campaign with my partner, Actress April Lee Hernandez of “Freedom Writers†fame. Together we’ve made it our mission in life to go into communities across the United States to try to educate and awaken the minds of the youth. We speak about death so they can appreciate life.
