People called him crazy. Now, back from the brink of death, he reclaims his power and truth in this incredible memoir about finding inner peace despite countless attempts to break him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This remarkable story transcends Al B.\u2019s health crisis. It chronicles his journey from the tough streets of Money Earnin\u2019 Mt. Vernon to New Jack Swing stardom, as well as his influential role as the first platinum selling artist, and the first artist to reach #1 on Billboard\u2019s R&amp;B charts at Uptown Records\u2014where Combs got his start in the industry as an intern. But of the small group of key figures who were there at Uptown\u2019s founding, Sure! is one of the few still living to tell the whole story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53430\" alt=\"\" width=\"596\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/al-b-memoir.jpg 596w, https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/al-b-memoir-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/al-b-memoir-99x150.jpg 99w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 596px) 100vw, 596px\" src=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/al-b-memoir.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53430\" src=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/al-b-memoir.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"596\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/al-b-memoir.jpg 596w, https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/al-b-memoir-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/al-b-memoir-99x150.jpg 99w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 596px) 100vw, 596px\"\/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Al B. Sure! is a globally celebrated singer, songwriter, and producer with multiple RIAA-certified multiplatinum albums, American Music Award, Soul Train Awards, and multiple Grammy nominations. His 1988 Warner Brothers breakout single Nite and Day propelled his debut album In Effect Mode to the top of Billboard Magazine\u2019s R&amp;B charts for seven straight weeks. A pivotal ambassador of New Jack Swing, he has worked with some of the most acclaimed artists and producers of our time, including the late Quincy Delight Jones Jr., Usher, Diana Ross, Tevin Campbell, Faith Evans, David Bowie, Rod Stewart, Michael McDonald, JODECI, and more. In October 2022, Sure! miraculously woke up from a two-month coma having endured multi-system organ failure, a thirty-eight-day stint on a ventilator, and a medical crisis that placed him on kidney dialysis and required a liver transplant. Still recovering from this medical tsunami, Al B. Sure! has dedicated his life to advocating in Halls of Congress for equal access to quality healthcare for the underserved communities in America. He is the Executive Chairman of the Health Equity in Transplantation Coalition, and recently coauthored transplant legislation for the State of Texas focused on protecting the rights of heroes that checked the \u201cOrgan Donor\u201d boxes on their driver\u2019s licenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt Hip Hop Magizine News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"9431463036\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Al B.
