I'll Be Around: The Autobiography of Rappin' 4-Tay tells the gripping, unapologetic story of Anthony "Rappin' 4-Tay" Forte-San Francisco's pioneering rap voice. From growing up in the Fillmore District during times of cultural upheaval to his rise with the iconic anthem "Playaz Club," 4-Tay reflects on a life of rhythm, resilience, and reinvention. Blending street wisdom with soulful introspection, this memoir pulls readers deep into the Bay Area's hip-hop roots, the struggles behind the success, and the legacy of a true original. More than music, this is a story of survival, fatherhood, fame, and staying real through every high and low. An essential read for hip-hop historians and fans alike.
