50 Cent is set to release a book charting his life as a school bully and his attempts to redeem his character from the way he acted as a child.

The book, titled 'Plaground' will be released around the same time as 50's autobiography which is tentatively titled 'From Pieces To Weight'. Speaking about his childhood memoirs, 50 said:

"I had a strong desire to write 'Playground' because I wanted to explore how a kid becomes a bully. I drew on events from my own childhood and adolescence, but was excited to see the story take on its own life. This book would have been very helpful for me growing up and now that I have a teenage son, it is my goal that this will have a positive influence on all teenagers."

Both books are due to be released in January 2012.
