This marks book number thirty -four from the start of my career! I feel so blessed to be twenty-two years young and able to dive fully into my passion...into my career. I’m steady growing, learning, and reaching for better through it all. I have to give all thanks and praise to the heavenly father because he truly been on my side! I so very thankful for the creativity and strength to get up every day to do something I absolutely LOVE.
To my dear family, I’m blessed to have you alllll. In this industry I witness authors struggle to receive support from their families, and I have to say that is not my testimony. You all have been in deep support from the beginning and I don’t take it for granted.
To my mother, no one will fully grasp the deep connection and bond we have. A picture, a video, or even this acknowledgment could NOT express how much I love you. You are my dawg, my ride or die, my whole heart!! Growing up, I watched you fight to give me everything my heart desire, to growing up and watching you fight against cancer. I remember wanting to swap bodies so you didn’t have to endure no more pain. You are my superhero. You stayed encouraged and you didn’t give up. You told me you would fight the fight, and you did just that! We in this for the long haul and it’s forever fuck cancer!!! #MaMaCoCo
To my bestie boo, Shannon, you been with me since lovejoy days playing tetherball! We came a mighty long way together. Your a mother now, which rightfully made me a God mommy. Arynzi is truly a blessing from God, and she has two bomb ass mothers to call her own! Even though her bad butt likes to bang on my computer when I’m trying to write lol.
To my niece Gabby and nephews Jhordyn and Collin Ace, your aunty loves you dearly. When I’m down, it’s your faces that gets me on track to get back to the grind.

“Honesty is the best policy me and you will have in this business. Not the money we will make...honesty will be your lifeline.” Pops said as we stood in his warehouse. Shaking his hand, the deal was done. Me, Kuna, and Keeno had just received fifteen bricks, and that was the most we had ever even been in the same room with, let alone it being ours.
With weeks in between the time we decided to reach out to Pops, it was a lot of long nights of hustling. Me and Dime wasn’t on the best terms, but business was always business at the end of the day. When I got in from handling shit with Pops, I was running to the trap, so she could start busting this shit down for me. That was just how shit was going until it calmed down enough for us to talk about her not wanting to wear my ring no more until she got a date.
“I came through on my side, I hope you fellas can hold up your end.” Pops said, eyeing us all. He had just fronted us, and now we had to get this product in the streets so we could get him back his money in a decent time frame.
“We got you.” Kuna said, shaking his hand. Pops nodded and made sure to give him a firm grip and Keeno as well. Pops offered drinks and an invite to one of his cribs out in Clayton. Me and the guys declined wanting to get back to the trap. Wasn’t no time for fucking around. This was the chance of a lifetime that we had got, and Pops didn’t have to front us half, so we had to pull through.
Leaving, me and my dawgs were quiet all in our own zone. I was anxious to see what Dime did with the work because she was the coldest at the shit. I couldn’t front, her skills had saved me plenty when I would get some half ass product. But now that we had some good shit, I knew she was about to have us flowing in cash.
Arriving at the house, Dime, Mulatto, and Currenci was all chilling around. Mulatto had been cool, and she was dancing at Onyx now. Soon as she saw us coming in the house with duffle bags, she took her kids to the back. I had been in Dime´s ear because I didn’t want her or her kids getting caught up, but I knew the girl needed somewhere to stay. Knowing Dime had a soft spot for seeing someone without a place, she wasn’t going for Mulatto being out on her ass staying in mice infected cars on the side of the road.
“How it go?” Currenci asked, standing to her feet, ready to get to business. I could see Kuna not caring to even be in the same room, but he kept his demeanor for the time being. Knowing how nonchalant Currenci´s been, my dawg wasn’t feeling how she went back to dancing after he accidentally found out she lost their baby. Kuna tried to be there for her, but that shit was a dub when Ci ain’t want the comforts of anyone. To her, she went on about it as if nothing happened, and we were all concerned for nothing.
“Straight.” I replied, taking the bricks out. Dime came back handing out masks. She cut through the first one and she just examined it. She even stuck her finger in it and slid it in the corner of her mouth against her gum. Watching her, her face didn’t change up.
“Blocc.” she slowly said, looking at me with a defeated look.
“Baby, don’t tell me-” I said, cutting myself off.
“Dime, what the fuck is up?” Kuna said, knowing these
