Relentless Aaron's New Book: "Bumrush"
Mt.
Vernon, NY
(BlackNews.com) - Positioned as the next big thing in hip
hop fiction; Relentless Aaron has made history. It was a miserable
7-year prison sentence that served the entrepreneur a kick
in the butt, forcing him to change his life and to turn his
lemons into lemonade.
However, he not only made the best of his time behind bars,
he also manifested his dreams and turned them into reality
right here on the streets. Within days of his release, Relentless
printed and went to Harlem's 125th street to sell his first
novel, Push, a gritty epic about a thug who transcends
struggle to become a real estate developer.
"Push
was actually the 20th book I wrote," says Relentless.
"I needed to come to the streets and slam dunk every
other contender. That means I had to be deep, concise,
smarter, and I had to give a level of entertainment
that would go unmatched."
Unmatched, indeed. As reported in the Summer 05 issue
of Black Issues Book Review, Relentless Aaron's books
including; Push, The Last Kingpin, and other
titles by the author have become national bestsellers
among so many other urban titles. In all, Relentless
has released 10 of his 30 novels as well as a how-to
book I Did It - You Can Too, and his nine-year-old
daughter's book ABC's For a Positive Me. Bigger
than all of that, Relentless has also put his foot into
at least a dozen other books by other authors and aspiring
publishers. He has been flown in to sit courtside for
negotiations with NBA players as well as real estate
tycoons. Radio Deejays have stepped into his office
so that they too can get in on the Relentless magic.
Just when you thought Relentless Aaron has played his
every Ace card, the author, publisher, and visionary
has struck again, only harder. In 2005, Relentless joined
forces with artists such as Mobb Deep, Juelz Santana,
Loon, Keyshia Cole, and Brooke Valentine as another
of the hot artists endorsing and supported by Southpole,
the popular $300 million a year clothing giant. The
stakes grew even higher when Relentless signed Southpole
to a year-long Readers Are Leaders literacy campaign
which the author will take to schools beginning on December
5th. The program he founded is geared towards promoting
literacy and encouraging the younger generation to read
as much as possible. Joining Relentless on his school
engagements will be other bestselling authors such as
Kashamba Williams and T.B.A musical guests.
Still, that's not the biggest Relentless news. Not two
years out of prison and having established a presence
on television, radio, print and at more than 150 literary
and social events throughout the country, Relentless
Aaron has again struck pay dirt with corporate America.
On November 1, 2005, Relentless signed a 6-figure, four-book
deal with St. Martin's Press, a 75-year old publishing
behemoth. His energy and pen-power are at least amazing,
says a senior editor at St. Martin's. And if The Last
Kingpin is any evidence of what's in store next, the
planet has a new reigning champion on its hands. Something
the world of movies will soak up.
An untouchable award-winning catalog, a helping hand
for other authors, giving back to the community, book-to-film
nominations, and backed by billion dollar corporations;
are there any more blessings that this man can behold?
"We
now have 20 new authors who have a total of sixty or
seventy books that will emerge from Relentless Content
within the next few years. There are three times that
many who are still knocking at my door, trying to get
onboard. And I'm talking all bets," says Relentless.
It is clear that Relentless Aaron walks the walk, but
there is no doubt that he has a running start.
