San Francisco, CA — I’ll Be Around: The Autobiography of Rappin’ 4-Tay delivers a rare, unvarnished look inside the life of one of hip-hop’s most authentic voices. In this compelling memoir, Rappin’ 4‑Tay takes readers on a gripping journey from the Fillmore District’s streets to the stages where his music became anthems — and beyond.
Best known for the iconic anthem Playaz Club, 4-Tay doesn’t just recount the hits — he opens up about the struggles behind the success, the realities of fatherhood, the challenges of fame, and what it truly means to stay real when the world tries to define you.
Fatherhood and legacy take center stage in I’ll Be Around. The memoir reflects on how life in music intersects with personal responsibility, relationships, and growth. Through honest storytelling, the book explores how artists balance public fame with private life.
The memoir also celebrates the impact of classic West Coast storytelling in hip-hop culture, especially through the success of tracks like Playaz Club, which helped define a generation of music listeners.
