Dame Dash To Release Tell-All Book


Dame Dash To Release Tell-All Book
Posted: Monday - June 22, 2009

We're used to people in hip hop spitting like a beast. But when one decides to sing like a bird, it definitely raises eyebrows. Apparently Damon Dash doesn't care about the weird looks he might get. The former hip hop mogul has penned an autobiographical memoir that is actually being described by sources as a candid "tell-all" book.

The book is said to include an in-depth account of Dame's life as CEO of a major record label, behind-the-scenes details of the makings of his musical empire, and an insider's view of the bond connecting the Roc-A-Fella family. But, most importantly, the book is said to reveal details surrounding his estrangement from longtime friend/partner Jay-Z and the controversial ROC split.

Insiders say Dame hopes this book will rescue him from his current place of obscurity, both physically and financially, and position him back into the limelight. The former Dynasty captain has suffered setbacks ranging from property foreclosures to divorce since the demise of his multi-million dollar Roc-A-Fella empire.

Sources say Dame employed Kim Osorio, the former editor-in-chief of Source magazine, to ghostwrite the tell-all. At press time, Dame was still pitching his book to numerous publishers for a possible distribution deal.
