The Streets Ain't Going Nowhere

Newark, New Jersey. Brick City. Malik's mother — a dope addict — is the only family he's got, and dealing for the connect Born looks like the only way to get them both out. With his reckless best friend Cos riding shotgun, Malik climbs fast — until a rival turns the crew against him, a drive-by takes Cos's girl Tee-Tee, Born cuts them off, and Cos goes down for murder. Malik answers the only way the streets taught him.

A story about loyalty, survival, and the price of every choice — from an author who lived the blocks he writes about.
