Murderville 3: The Black Dahlia, hitting stores September 3rd, is the third release from Ashley & JaQuavis’ Murderville trilogy, and also the third release with CMC books, the book publishing company from Cash Money Records, the record label that is home to superstar artists Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne and Drake
"Ashley & JaQuavis are two of the most creative young minds of this generation," said Ronald "Slim" Williams, co-founder of Cash Money Records and Cash Money Content books. "They are legendary story-tellers and have done it again with their latest release for us, Murderville 3: The Black Dahlia. With Cash Money Content our goal is nurture young minds, and encourage our people to read. There are many talented young people in our communities. All they need is encouragement and stellar examples like Ashley & JaQuavis to inspire them."
Murderville 3: The Black Dahlia is the follow up to last year’s hit, Murderville 2: The Epidemic and 2011’s Murderville. The Black Dahlia introduces the story of Dahlia and her bloodstained ascent to power as she positions herself to take over the country’s Black Market. The story finds Liberty back in her hometown, after leaving Po, but it’s only a matter of time before she comes face-to-face once again with the cold-blooded Black Dahlia. Who will end up on top? Will the Black Dahlia’s bloody reign come to an end?
