Rapper Jeezy made a stop in Bridgeport Monday to promote his new book.

Jeezy's book signing event was held at the Kindred Thoughts Bookstore.

"Adversity for Sale: Ya Gotta Believe" is his first published book.

Jeezy says the book tells the never told before lessons from his life to motivate people to go after their dreams.

"Just know that is never too late, it's never too late to start working on yourself and know that you got to evolve or die, as harsh as that sounds, that's what it's really about. You have to grow just like any plant, any tree, any flower, if they don't grow, they die and we're the same way," Jeezy says.

His book goes on sale Tuesday.
