Mark Curry, formerly known as CHOP D.I.E.S.E.L., used to be signed to Bad Boy records and was featured on "Bad Boy For Life." Now Curry has written a tell-all book about his career, called Dancing With The Devil: How Puff Burned the Bad Boys of Hip-Hop, that talks about Curry's time as recording artist on Bad Boy (he wrote a lot of songs, but was never allowed to release a full length album), how Puff makes money on the indentured rappers he has on his label, and about the "dark side" of fame. The book is available now, and you can read the first chapter for free here. [Real Talk NY]

That first chapter sounds like a real banger. I might have to cop a copy of this book. It might really shed sum light on the music business. Do your thing playa
