"Turk" Brings It In New Autobiography
Nationwide -- Former Cash Money Records artist Tab "Hot Boy Turk" Virgil Jr. takes you on a journey of deep spiritual and mental growth as he reveals how he dealt with the struggles of growing up in the infamous New Orleans' Uptown Magnolia Projects, his heroin and cocaine addiction, his incarceration, and how he survived the challenges thrown his way with pure grit, tenacity, and the unconditional love from his family in his new book, The AutoThugOgraphy of Turk.
Cash Money founders Ronald "Slim" Williams and Brian "Baby" Williams discovered Turk while he was rapping and rhyming in Magnolia Projects in 1996. Soon after, Turk was recruited as one of the original members of the now-defunct late 90's group "Hot Boys" crew alongside Juvenile, B.G. and Lil Wayne. Being the biggest draw on Cash Money Records back then, the Hot Boys gained international success and went on to create timeless music as a group, as well as individually.
His first ever solo debut "Young and Thuggin" was released under Universal Records in June 2001. His second solo album "Raw and Uncut" under Koch hit the streets in 2003, before he was charged with second-degree attempted murder after a drug raid shootout in Memphis, Tennessee.
