HoodLife Books Proudly Presents
Lovers of hood books everywhere will appreciate Rap Star, the first offering from Tony Clincy. Critics are hailing the book as being the first chapter of a new genre of novels called 'Rap Fiction', as the book and new genre's subject (rap music) has so surprisingly been missing from the urban fiction books. Journey with Spits, a northern Californian hustler, fresh out of prison with money on his mind, as he makes the transition from street corner thug to world wide rap phenomenon and industry mogul, and finds that the game which he ran to, is in many ways just as cold, if not colder, than the one he ran from.

HoodLIfe Books Proudly PresentsTony Clincy, author of the Rap Star series. A self-taught writer who took himself through a 'Writing Boot-Camp' of his own making while serving time in prison, Tony came home armed with a backpack full of first drafts and a dream to be the next great American fiction writer, releasing Rap Star and Rap Star Volume 2 under his own, aptly named, HoodLife Books imprint nine months after his release. Book lovers have compared his writing style to that of Donald Goines, saying that "He captures the mood of today's hoodsters much as Donald caught the mood of the sixties and seventies with his writings, mostly because " he possesses this uncanny ability to bring his characters to life." writes one critic or to hear Tony tell it. "I can bring the hood so easily to life in my stories because I'm from the hood. I ain't one of them 'Studio Gangster' writers that are out there perpetrating by writing about what they've only heard about. I ran the streets hard, and I was thrived in the streeets and in prison that's just an old dream I had turned put to fiction. lol" Tony is from Seaside, Ca where he lives with his family and laptop, working on his next novel Junkie Creek
