Celly Cel was first introduced to Street-Lit through Donald Goines, during a brief stint in county jail. After a few pages of White Man's Justice, Black Man's Grief, he was hooked. He read every Donald Goines book he could get his hands on. At this point, the only outlet for this true-to-life genre was jail or the prison system, so a career as an author was hard to fathom.
Thanks to blood, sweat, and tears from self-published authors, Street-Lit found an audience, made its way into mainstream bookstores, and took off. Once the opportunity presented itself, Celly Cel took notice. His passion and flair for storytelling, combined with real-life experiences in the streets, drove him to pen his first novel, BIG FACES.
