In a press release, William Heinemann describes Eskiboy as being "an account of Wiley's life and career, from white-label releases and illegal broadcasting to lifetime achievement awards and beyond." The book will feature lyrics, notes, and never-before-seen photographs. Wiley's most recent album, Godfather, was released earlier this year.
