What do you do when multiple sclerosis knocks you on your ass, tells you your rap career is over, and dares you to stay down?

You write a new story — and this one’s real as hell.

Myelin My Shoes is the raw, unfiltered, punch-in-the-gut memoir from underground hip-hop artist Robert “B-Cide” Cardillo II, who turned pain into power and built something real in a world full of fake.

From rocking shows with legends to dodging shady promoters, from touring the country to being forced into a wheelchair by multiple sclerosis — this is the story of a man who refused to tap out.

No ghostwriters. No sugarcoating. No Hollywood ending. Just truth, scars, hustle, and heart.

Inside, you’ll get:

Stories from the front lines of the indie rap scene that no blog had the balls to print

Real talk about fighting MS while still making music that gets 1,000 to 1,500 monthly listeners on Spotify — no cap

Lessons learned from the school of hard knocks, not the business school playbook

Validation if you’ve ever felt like success doesn’t look like a big house and a Lambo

And a blueprint for what it really means to build something out of nothing

If you’ve ever been counted out, if you’ve ever felt like quitting, if you’ve ever wanted to tell the world “F*** your expectations” — this book is for you.

You won’t find fake inspiration here. What you’ll find is resilience, reinvention, and realness — from a man who bet on himself and won in ways most people can’t even understand.

Whether you're an artist, an entrepreneur, a Juggalo, an MS warrior, or someone just trying to survive one more day — this book will hit you where it matters.

This is your permission slip to stop playing small.

And proof that you can still make noise — even when the world tries to silence you.

Fans of memoirs like Can’t Hurt Me and Behind the Paint will find something unforgettable in B-Cide’s journey. This is more than a book. It’s a blueprint for resilience.
