Walk with Halleigh and Malek as they introduce you to a new struggle in a new city… a place called Flint, Michigan, one of the roughest little cities in America. It’s a place where the good die young, loyalty is a rarity, and everybody has a hustle.

STILL HOOD by K’wan

November 12, 2007 by Daniel · 1 Comment 


Jah and Yoshi’s relationship was supposed to be a romance straight out of a fairy tale. But there are no such things in the ‘hood. Yoshi’s position as a stylist keeps her in the mix and the company of some industry heavyweights, Though Jan tries to be understanding, he can’t help but wonder if Yoshi’s creeping with her clients.

True has finally made it. His debut album has got the streets going crazy and is threatening to spill over into the mainstream. Success is finally withing his grasp until karma catches up with him. Somebody wants him dead and he doesn’t know why – or does he?

And entering the picture is Dena Jones: young, fine, and all about paper. Raised by the streets of Brooklyn and her homicidal brother, Shannon, Dena knows the game and is quick to apply her trade in getting what she wants. But she soon learns that the game is sold and not told when she finds herself caught up in the Harlem underworld and in the stable of a notorious pimp named Black Ice.

K’wan, one of the hottest stars in urban fiction, takes us back inside the scandalous lifestyle of the hood rat.

WHORESON by Donald Goines

October 7, 2007 by Daniel · 1 Comment 


Goines takes the reader into the violent world of ghetto prostitution. Whoreson Jones, the novel’s hero, is the son of a beautiful black prostitute and an unknown white john. By the age of sixteen, he is a full-fledged pimp, cold-blooded, ruthless. Written in gritty street talk, Whoreson’s story affords a startling glimpse into the hell of the inner city, yet bristles with bitter humor and defiant pride.

PIMP by Iceberg Slim

October 1, 2007 by Daniel · Leave a Comment 


Iceberg Slim is the name he used in the black ghetto. His real name is Robert Beck and he was a pimp. This is his story, told without bitterness and with no real pretense at moralizing - the smells, the sounds, the fears, the petty triumphs in the world of the pimp. No other book comes anywhere near this one in its description of the raw, brutal reality of the jungle that lurks beneath the surface of every city. Nobody but a pimp could tell this story, and none ever has…until Iceberg Slim. he was young, ambitious, and blessed with superior IQ. He spent twenty-five years of his life in Hell. Other pimps died in prison, or insane asylums, or were shot down in the street. But Iceberg Slim escaped death and the drug habit to live in the square world and to write - about his people and his life.
