From the streets to the charts, from county jail to publishing empire, this is the soundtrack to transformation.
T.M. Jefferson's life reads like a hip-hop mixtape: raw, rhythmic, and honest. Structured chapter by chapter to the beats that shaped each era, Change The Game chronicles a journey from drug dealing and parole violations to building an independent publishing powerhouse that puts Black voices on bestseller lists.
This isn't your typical redemption story. Jefferson pulls no punches about the systems designed to trap men like him, parole as a "door with better lighting," probation officers who weaponize curfews, and the way surveillance turns freedom into performance. But it's also a masterclass in transformation: how hustler instincts become entrepreneurial gold, how county jail becomes a creative crucible, and how building an independent publishing company becomes an act of resistance.
From his first novel hitting Amazon's top charts to mentoring the next generation of writers, from navigating industry betrayals to the quiet revolution of fatherhood, Jefferson shows that changing the game isn't about playing by different rules; it's about building your board.
A mixtape memoir about choice, consequence, and the daily discipline of becoming who you're meant to be.
"Part street testimony, part business blueprint, part love letter to hip-hop, this book will change how you think about second chances."
Press play. Start reading. Change everything.
Perfect for readers of Writing My Wrongs, A Place to Stand, The Rose That Grew from Concrete, and Makes Me Wanna Holler.
For fans of true crime, street lit, and raw memoirs of redemption, this is your blueprint to turn pain into purpose.
