Todd Lucky Johnson is the Author/Publisher of his debut novel entitled "INFLUENCE" and is also the C.E.O of Rackateerin Entertainment Inc which is an indie record label and independent publishing company.

Hailing from out of Mount Vernon N.Y the young Todd Johnson grew up in the era when Hip Hop was just becoming an integral part of American culture. His life is synonymous with music, primarily the genre of music known as rap. In the mid 80's Todd would make his own cassette mix tapes off the radio on Friday and Saturday nights listening to DJ Red Alert (98.7 Kiss) and Mr. Magic (107.5 WBLS).

Around this time the drug "Crack" became prevalent in Mt. Vernon and at the age of 12 Todd Johnson had been enticed by the Street Life. Shortly after being introduced to the drug game Todd Johnson ended up in Division For Youth (D.F.Y) which was prison for minors.. Still living a life of crime, the Life Style subsequently landed Todd Johnson in (D.O.C.S) Department Of Corrections for over a decade 1/2.

While incarcerated he wrote 8 albums, read and studied numerous books, and acquired a General Business Degree. Upon his release from prison in 2003 he corporated "Rackateerin Entertainment Inc" and independently released his first L.P "Stolen Legacy", "Talk Of Da Town", and several mix tape CD's re-establishing and affirming his street credibility in a more positive direction. Todd Lucky Johnson is definitely on another plateau now as he displays his talents as an author and publisher.

INFLUENCE the novel was written on October 14th, 2007 and on January 1st, 2008 he completed his debut novel and published it under Rackateerin Entertainment Inc on 4/20/09. "Rize II Power" is the Sequel to "INFLUENCE" so look forward to reading more surreal, compelling, streety, and uncensored literature from this flourishing author...
