Grammy-nominated R&B legend Al B. Sure! tells all in this inspiring survivor's memoir that reveals the untold story of his near-death health emergency, shocking ties to Sean Combs, romance with the late Kim Porter, and the extraordinary highs and life-threatening lows of being a pioneering New Jack Swing superstar.
Days after Homeland Security raided Sean Combs's compounds in a federal sex-trafficking investigation, the multiplatinum R&B legend Al B. Sure! declared that when people heard how he wound up in a coma two years earlier, they were "really going to need to call Homeland Security."
The connections run deep-Al B. Sure!'s ex-wife Kim Porter became Combs's longtime girlfriend and mother to three of his children before her mysterious 2018 death. Al B. Sure! and Kim's son Quincy Brown's open letter praising Combs as a father figure sparked a media frenzy, as did Al B.'s calls for an investigation into Porter's death.
For years, Al B. Sure! had been ringing the alarm to law enforcement officials about alleged gang stalking, surveillance, death threats, human trafficking, gaslighting, and psychological warfare against him and others in his orbit. People called him crazy. Now, back from the brink of death, he reclaims his power and truth in this incredible memoir about finding inner peace despite countless attempts to break him.
This remarkable story transcends Al B.'s health crisis. It chronicles his journey from the tough streets of Money Earnin' Mt. Vernon to New Jack Swing stardom, as well as his influential role as the first platinum selling artist, and the first artist to reach #1 on Billboard's R&B charts at Uptown Records-where Combs got his start in the industry as an intern. But of the small group of key figures who were there at Uptown's founding, Sure! is one of the few still living to tell the whole story.
