Caujuan Akim Mayo, also known on the streets as $ki.Bo and Ka$hanova, grew up hustling at a young age to make ends meet and help his single mother take care of his sister and 5 brothers. Early on, he had a way with words and women and found himself engulfed within the "Game" and lifestyle of The Pimping and Hoe subculture. The same game that brought him up, eventually took him down and sent him to prison. There, is where he found a knack and love for writing and penned his first novel, "Let Me Pimp Or Let Me Die." With part 2 already finished, and another book on the way, Caujuan turned his negative situation into a positive one. After being released from prison, He turned his life around, started Uprock Publications, self published his novel, gave up the pimp game, and started giving back to the community in a positive way.
