After devolping his ability to, and passion per rapping, his skills caught the attention of Cash Money Records “Slim” and the “Birdman” Baby and was recruited. After joining the ranks of Cash Money label mates; Juvenile, B.G. & Lil Wayne, Turk’s presence helped create Cash Money Records sensational and platinum sellin “Hot Boys”. With their international success they were instantly bombarded with fortune and fame, but Turk was blind-sided by it’s admixture of evil.

Here is some book excerpts in exclusive to Cash Money Degreez from 
Young Turk of his new book “The Auto-Thugography of Turk”:


Chapter 2 "The Gift"

......Baby and Slim both had to talk momma into letting me perform that night, under the condition that I not be out to late. But (yeah right) these was the two that made the rules. They called momma after the concert was over at three-thirty in the morning and she was pissed off and promised me I'd never do another concert. But I was young-n-thuggin, so after two weeks I was back in the studio without her permission, this Slim and Baby didn’t know. For two weeks straight I was getting dropped off in the Nolia every night sneaking on the fire-escape going through my window without my momma ever knowing.

Chapter 4 "Cash Money Chil'ren"
......Me and Wayne being the 'chil'ren' of Cash Money Records, as Baby called us, had become real close during these years, while we learned the business from the side-lines just patiently waiting for our time to shine. Besides spending our days and nights inside the studio developing our flows and writing songs we passed time (tossing) what semed like a million broads. We was Cash Money and everybody was throwing us the 'lovin' the old, the young, the real-old, and the real-young! The Holiday Inn on Veteran's in Metairie Louisiana, that was only a ten minute drive from 'Uptown' was Headquarters and where we tossed majority of these broads at. Shoney's Inn and The Landmark Hotel were also frequently used for our sex-capades, but the Holiday Inn was practically the Cash Money Record's Hotel!

......Baby leaves Wayne his (drop-top) Jaguar, and we in it and 'stuntin like our daddy' for-real! We hit the interstate and open the engine up a little, and it looks like rain could be possible, but we dead in the middle of 'stuntin' so the signs of rain were completely ignored. Wayne pushin the Jag hard, almost to the max, when all of a sudden we're smack dead in the middle of a serious down-pour of rain with the top of Baby's Jaguar still down. Wayne hit the button to the top, but since we're moving so fast through the wind and rain, halfway through the closing motion the top got thrown off-track some kind of way and got stuck. The rain was coming down harder and harder, and all inside of Baby's Jag!

Chapter 6 "From 1st to Worst"

......After multiple dirty urines, it was recommended by my Probation Officer that the court ordrr that I be placed into a 'In-Patient Drug Program' at the ODYSSEY HOUSE in New Orleans. It turned out to be not as bad as I thought it would, and I was able to convince the Counselor there to release me earlier than the one year i was ordered to do. The Hot Boyz 'Guerilla Warfare' album was fresh in the stores and I wasnt finna be stuck in a damn 'Rehab'.

The same day that I was relased I went straight 'Uptown' scored and got fully-loaded with heroin! And in record breaking speed I'd gotten locked right back up. This time, it was around the time the planes crashed into the 'Twin Towers' on September The Eleventh. I remember this time perfectly, because the day before the attack i had my Correctional Officer broad, there at the jail, bring me in some heroin, and I was at it again. I got loaded right there in my ten-man cell, and I got the whole cell loaded with me.

The next day, I'd never forget, was when the planes hit the Towers, and keeping it (10 x's a 100) that shit scared the hell out of me. I was so spooked, I called myself kicking my habbit, and I had the niggas in the ten-man with me mad as hell because I wouldn’t continue to work the officer, when they all knew that i could.
