Blow - Paperback

by K'Wan (Author), 50 Cent (Author)

A thrilling urban fiction novel from hip-hop icon 50 Cent and bestselling author K'wan following young men navigating life in the projects and survival on the streets of Bedstuy, Brooklyn.

Prince, Killa-E, Daddy-O, and Danny grew up together in the projects, moving crack and cocaine, and answering to Diego, the neighborhood drug lord. They were small-timers playing for low stakes--until Prince is introduced to a heroin connect. Overnight they go from soldiers to bosses, and their crew is held together by loyalty and love. But taking the reins of power comes at a high price. Now, with Diego at their back and a traitor in their midst, they find themselves between a kilo and a hard place, ready to spill blood to stay on top.
