Shawn L. Bailey was born in Chicago, Illinois and was raised on the Southside at a time where he witnessed crimes, drug addictions, and deaths on a normal basis. His mother had him in 1967 and she was a single parent. He almost lost his life at the age of 6 years old. He was trapped in an apartment fire on 79th Troop but God had a much bigger plan for him. Shawn became a legendary gentleman of leisure throughout his lifetime. God later called him to Minister his Word. He was ordained October 3rd, 2019, where he was blessed with the gift that would leave his mark in the Urban Book industry for times to come. Some people say that he has a way to change someone's life, others have called him a prophet. But after reading his book you'll know him as The Roll'z Roy$$ of $tory Telling.
