L.I.F.E.\u003c\/i\u003e is a vicious, heart-wrenching and true-to-life novel about an LA gang member that masterfully captures the violence and depravity of gang life. Shakur's protagonist is Lapeace, the leader of the Eight Tray Crips gang in South Central Los Angeles. In a deadly gunfight with Anyhow, a Blood and Lapeace's rival since childhood, eight innocent civilians are killed. Anyhow is captured. Lapeace becomes a fugitive and he must hide out in the home of his girlfriend, Tashima, a hip-hop mogul as a pair of crooked LA detectives, John Sweeney and Jesse Mendoza, attempt to track him down.\u003cbr\u003eThis novel was written from the confines of Shakur's jail cell, and the authenticity of its street scenes—the relentlessness of violence, the do-or-die attitude of each side of the gang war, the sheer joy in the killing—is a testament to the hell that has been a majority of Shakur's life. With \u003ci\u003eT.H.U.G. L.I.F.E.\u003c\/i\u003e, Shakur delivers a powerful and gripping story about the terror of gang life and one man's attempt to free himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSanyika Shakur, aka Kody Scott, was born in 1963 and grew up in South Central Los Angeles.
