Eminem is set to publish his life story, complete with photographs, hand-drawn sketches, lyrics and journal notes from the Detroit-born rapper, PEOPLE reports

The memoir, entitled Eminem: The Way I Am, is scheduled to hit shelves in the U.K. this October.

"Everyone has their own take on Eminem," he said in a statement to British music journal NME. "Because of where he is from, people think they know where he is at, what kind of person he really is. This book cuts through all that and gets to the source."

"There is no firm release date scheduled, although it is anticipated to arrive in the latter part of this year," a rep told MTV News. "It's unfortunate that someone who does not have intimate knowledge of [the project] felt compelled to jump the gun on announcing it."
