Independent hip hop artist KJ-52 has just launched a new Kickstarter campaign to fund not only a brand new EP of music, but a companion book (and audiobook) as well. Both titled What Happened Was..., through the project, the acclaimed rapper intends to shed some light on his personal experiences in the music industry through the years.

KJ writes:

Over the 20 years of doing music full time I've accumulated a lot of unique experiences, my hope and desire with this book is to have a conversation with you about some of my greatest triumphs, joys and failures. "What Happened Was..." is a compilation of true stories from my childhood, music, songs, touring and more.

I've lived a charmed life! Picture you and I sitting in a room telling story after story about every aspect of my experiences. Ever wanted to know the backstory on a song? Ever wanted to know my perspective on a issue? Ever wanted to hang out with me for an hour and have me share my knowledge and wisdom I've learned from a life of music and ministry? This book is for you.

Each story will come with its own soundtrack to help you experience exactly what I was feeling when I was going through that moment. This being my first auto-biographical book I wanted to allow fans the opportunity to leave quotes, pick questions and to have their name in the credits.

This book/EP is funded by the fans, inspired by the fans and written for the fans!

Thank you so much for your support throughout the years, you make what I do possible.
