A book chronicling the life and death of Wu-Tang Clan rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard will be hitting shelves next month.

The book, titled Digging For Dirt, focuses on ODB's rise to fame and includes personal accounts on the rapper's life from his Wu-Tang brethren, friends, family and associates.

The book also tries to understand ODB's eccentric behavior. In the book, ODB's lawyer, Robert Shapiro, says he believes that ODB could have had mental issues.

"It's possible his behav ior was a result of mental illness," said Shapiro."One time he had his hat on backward, had on two different shoes, and he stood with his back to the judge with his hat facing the judge as if he was looking at the judge."

ODB (born Russell Tyrone Jones) died in 2004 from an accidental drug overdose while recording his third solo album.

Digging For Dirt is slated to hit shelves on December 2nd.
