Summary
Tricky is one of the most original music artists to emerge from the UK in the past 30 years. His signature sound, coupled with deep, questioning lyrics, took the UK by storm in the early 1990s and was part of the soundtrack that defined the post-rave generation.
This unique, no-holds barred autobiography is not only a portrait of an incredible artist - it is also a gripping slice of social history packed with extraordinary anecdotes and voices from the margins of society.
Tricky examines how his creativity has helped him find a different path to that of his relatives, some of whom were bare-knuckle fighters and gangsters, and how his mother's suicide has had a lifelong effect on him, both creatively and psychologically. With his unique heritage and experience, his story will be one of the most talked-about music autobiographies of the decade.

Tricky keeps it real.
Wow! what can I say?
I just devoured it. So authentic and matter of fact! Candid and real, with no apologies, not that any are needed.
Tricky, breaks your heart...

Outstanding Autobiography
A really great account of an amazing and groundbreaking artist. Written in a simple, straightforward style and extremely well narrated. Even readers not familiar with Tricky’s work should find this a compelling listen.

A unique life in music
This book is as full of character and idiosyncrasies as Tricky's music, there's nothing quite like it. Narration is great too and varies depending on who is recounting the stories. Strongly recommend.

The life and times of Tricky 🌟
Wow! I’m not even sure I can write a review that will do this book the justice that it deserves. Tricky’s book is an authentic and honest look back at his life, not just his life within the music industry but all areas of his personal and private life. I believe some people are sent here to show us that great things can be achieved in life through adversity and I whole heartily believe Tricky is one of those people. Listening to his story I believe that he has withstood the test of time in his industry for his authenticity and honesty to his craft and himself, and I totally stand with him when he says that his best is yet to come!
I loved the tales of Tricky’s family and the Godfrey family of Bristol, my family come from the Godfrey lineage too and I completely resonated with the family tales and the nostalgia that it brought. The Godfrey men are tough but there is no strength like that of a woman with Godfrey blood in her veins 💜.
I won’t go any further as I don’t want to ruin the book for anyone else but I just want to say, I read a lot and even if you don’t know Tricky’s music or aren’t necessarily a fan this is still an amazing read.
Wishing Tricky and his family all the best right now through this tough time 🌟
