Book Description
Omar Johnson, also known to the hood as O, had a dream a little different from most kids his age. While most kids had 'hoop' dreams, Omar had his eyes set on the top position in the drug game. Omar felt in his heart that he could be the biggest dope boy his city had ever laid eyes on. He also felt as though the dope boys before him were stupid and he wouldn't go out like them; or at least hoped he wouldn't. One thing was for sure, Omar had his mind made up: he was going to be Rich or get 100 hundred years in prison trying. The question is, will O see his dream come true, or will he wake up and realize that this cold world has enough young men and women throwing their lives away chasing that same dream, before it's too late?

Hustler's Dreams, Federal Nightmares
Author: Amir Sanchez
Publisher: Urban Soul
ISBN: 1622862546
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
The game once had three major rules that were never to be broken or compromised, regardless of how serious things got in one's life. Death before dishonor was more than just a code; it was the law of the streets, written in the blood of the OGs who killed and died upholding it. Back then, there were many rewards for those who followed the codes. On the other hand, the penalty was death for anyone who violated the laws, and anybody close to him. At the very least, that person would be blackballed from the hood and any illegal street ventures. Clearly the game as we once knew it has been changed by today's hustlers, gangsters, and crooks. Most of them have strayed far from the script. The majority of them would rather save their asses than save face. They would sooner live with shame and disgrace than die with honor and respect. With the current status of the game and the sheisty individuals who are playing it, is there anyone who will honor the past and acknowledge the rules of the game for what they used to be? A newcomer to the urban lit scene, Amir Sanchez delivers a realistic, gripping story of life on the streets, where hustlers still rule, but honor and loyalty have taken on new meaning.

When the double cross knocks him out of favor with Ramses, Li’l Monk is left with two options: kill or die.
