About this audiobook
Bite and Lock: How Armando Pérez Turned Miami Grit into a Global Brand
A principal once told a teenage Pitbull to take his diploma and go. Decades later, 22,141 fans in London put on bald caps to dress like him, and he put one on too.
This Pitbull biography tells how that happened. Born Armando Pérez to Cuban parents, he grew up in a shaky home in Miami, nearly got written off by every school and label he met, and kept going anyway. Along the way came court fights, a collapsed record company, harsh critics, a prank that sent him to a Walmart in Alaska, and a million-dollar tourism deal that cost a state agency its leaders.
Why read it? It is a fair, well-sourced music biography, not a fan tribute. It shows how a rapper from Little Havana became Mr. Worldwide, what he gained, and what he gave up. If you like a hip hop biography, a celebrity biography with real stakes or a true rags to riches story about a Cuban-American artist, this one is for you.
Read it now and find out how the underdog kept his grip.
