"For all y’all smart dumb cats out there." Legendary Hip Hop artist Ghostface Killah settles into one of his most popular characters, Pretty Toney , and offers readers a hilariously unique perspective on life via guides to and advice on everything from sex to gambling, family to education, even how to eat on just $5 a day, better known as "The Hustler’s Diet". A singular twist on Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People for the Hip Hop generation complete with illustrative photos. Born as a series of shorts on MTV2, Pretty Toney and his musings quickly became a channel and online hit, with fans uploading the shorts on YouTube and circulating them virally.

This took me back to my youth...living hard...scraping by...fightin' through the tears. Ghostface understands the inequities of living life in the asphalt jungle. A touching ode to surviving the game.

Ghost knows what he's talking about.
