Blacktrash: The Autobiography of Kirk Jones is the first solo album by Onyx member Sticky Fingaz, released May 22, 2001. The lyricist portrays the fictional Kirk Jones, a felon just released from prison who is now struggling to come to terms with life outside jail. The listener is taken from street drama on "My Dogz Iz My Gunz" to metaphysical musings on "Oh My God" and rage-filled vents on his girlfriend in "Cheatin'" before an ironic, post-mortem cover version of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" finishes this album which went deeper than many critics had expected from the hardcore rapper. The album was also released in a clean version. The album is now out of print.
