🚨SPECIAL announcement from me & my UNBELIEVABLY TALENTED daud @rashidajones ((:0))🚨 When I was just a kid living on the Southside of Chicago during the Great Depression in the 30s, my grandmother used to cook rats for my little brother & I, because that's all we had to eat...Unfortunately, the only role models I had around me were gangsters, & the only future I had in store, was that of a typical statistic without a mother...I never thought I'd see a day past age 25, & I sure didn't think that one day I'd have 7 incredible rugrats or 79 Grammy nominations or have produced the best-selling album of all time...But here I am...85 years YOUNG & counting \(^o^)/. It's never easy to share the most vulnerable parts of your life, but man, when you've had as many run-ins with death as I have, you learn to keep getting back up. Well, it’s an HONOR to let y'awl in to my life story…& it absolutely makes my soul smile to announce that one of my dauds, Rashida (& bro from another mo, Alan Hicks - @alanhicksfilms), directed QUINCY, the definitive documentary about my journey, &...it's coming to @netflix on SEPTEMBER 21st, 2018!! ((:0)) I'm beyond honored to have my daughter tell y'awl my story because U know she DON'T PLAY & even more importantly...she tells the truth (thank-Q honey...I LOVE U). It's been one hell of a ride, but my only hope is that you'll learn from my mistakes, honor your gifts, & be inspired to keep reachin' even when it seems absolutely impossible...xxoo...q
