SICKO The Stubborn Child of God - Hardcover

by Kwame King (Author)

Raised in the West Bronx, Sicko learned survival before he learned peace. Shaped by poverty, broken homes, and street culture, he grew up without boundaries - functioning off power and control while searching for meaning. Music became his escape, his identity, and his hope for something greater.

SICKO The Stubborn Child of God is a raw, unfiltered true story of a gifted hip-hop artist navigating homelessness, violence, trauma, and ambition while wrestling with a mindset conditioned by hardship. As opportunities rise and collapse, faith quietly enters the story-not as an instant fix, but as a force that challenges everything Sicko believed about strength, success, and self-worth.

This memoir takes readers deep into the long-term effects of childhood adversity, racial division, financial barriers, and fractured families, then follows the difficult process of healing, responsibility, and growth. Through music, fatherhood, entrepreneurship, and faith, Sicko's journey reveals how broken foundations can still be rebuilt with purpose.

Today, Sicko's transformation is visible beyond the pages. After years in the healthcare field, he redirected his discipline and purpose into full-time entrepreneurship. Alongside creative collaborations with multi-platinum hip-hop artists, he has devoted years to building a stable home, raising a family, and developing a youth empowerment curriculum that guides others toward purpose beyond the streets.

Gritty yet hopeful, street-real yet faith-driven, this memoir is for anyone who believes that no background is too damaged, no calling too late, and no life beyond God's reach.
