While most kids want to be a basketball player or a police officer when they grow up, LAFAYETTE wanted to be a hustler. He became just that too, but he finds out that it isn't what it's cracked up to be. Sick of slinging nickel and dime crack rocks, Lafayette can't wait for his shot at being Top Dawg. He gets his chance when his plug, SHAMEEK, blesses him with his first kilo. Lafayette wastes no time parlaying the key into his own budding operation and solidifying his reputation in the streets. But with money and power comes jealousy, hate, envy and wolves who want the young dopeman's spot. With his homies turning against him and his woman's loyalty coming into question, Lafayette realizes he may very well be...THE LAST REAL NIGGA ALIVE.

After dispatching the Bonnie & Clyde robbing duo that hit his spot, LAFAYETTE is left to deal with a lengthy prison sentence and hired killas behind the wall. With nowhere to run or hide, Lafayette realizes that his back is against the wall. His only hope is to find allies inside of The Belly of the Beast, or prepare to find himself lying in a body bag. The murder of family members brings out the head of The Sanchez Cartel, DIABLO. The Mexican gangsta is on a war path and will stop at nothing to avenge his people. Unable to get his hands on Lafayette, the drug lord sets his sights on Victoria. Kidnapping her from out of her home, he takes her down inside of a basement and hands down a brutal punishment that breaks her spirit as well as her body. Will Victoria end up tortured to death? Or will she manage to escape the evil clutches of her abductor? Embarrassed and ashamed, LOON takes it upon himself to launch an attack on the man that left him battered and bruised. Armed with AK-47s, he and his young hittas go after GAR with plans of putting him six feet under. At the time, Gar is in the hospital in a coma. Will he awake before Loon and his men kill him? Or is he doomed?

Lafayette made a move on his rise to power that comes back to haunt him. His mistake puts him at odds with one of the most dangerous drug cartels south of the border. If he doesn’t give them what they want then he and everyone he loves will be executed. Will he bow down to an opponent far greater than him? Or will he choose to bear arms? A botch hit lands one of Lafayette’s hittas behind bars. He finds himself with a decision to make. He can take his chances and hope that the killa doesn’t snitch or he can put a green light on him and guarantee it. Will he follow his first mind and let his homeboy live? Or will he play it safe and have him murdered?

Personas of a Project II By: J. Wiggins aka Official Personas of a Project II is a book of poems, quotes to live by, AOLs (Analogies of Life), and illustrations that encompasses Official’s life and imagination in an artistically and purposely designed manner, or as he puts it in one of the enclosed pieces, “It’s like an intricate exhibit astronomically presented in a manner exquisite by my nature as intended.” The subtitle of this book, “Ennoblement of the Diary,” symbolizes a rise to noble rank, an upgrade, so to speak. This book is a testament to that statement as far as his writing and understanding of life.

Many times in my adult life, I have had what I would call an "awake out-of-body experience." During these times, I was peeking in at my life in a dream state; thinking this cannot be my life. I found myself asking the questions of what happened to the child who outsmarted the world and what happened to the teen who had all the answers and confidence to boot, and the young adult who never settled for can't. Well, somewhere along the way, the only thing left of who I was once was, were just shreds of an almost non-existent life. Now, don't get me wrong, there were some good times along the way, but it certainly was not always smooth sailing. But what came later in life was no comparison to the early years. Not that long ago, my life was filled with disappointment, brokenness, worry, anxiety, and fear. I survived breakups and breakdowns, sadness and pain, grief and loss beyond description, all of which led to a one-way ticket to Depression Central. Getting off the road to depression was very difficult for me, but there is no job too hard for God. If you can relate to the paralyzing despair that I went through, then please know that I fellowship with you and understand the grip depression and anxiety can have on your life. However, I want you to know that your destination does not have to be a one-way ticket to the land of despair, instead, your journey can bring you to a place of joy and peace if you simply trust and believe in God.

This collection of songs that I bring to you the reader, is the first step in expressing my vision of life through the eyes of me the author.

I express my way of life hoping to leave the reader with a greater understanding of what I see through my own eyes. I am extremely pleased with the results from these many years of hard work and dedication. I am truely honored and blessed to share with you my vision. Thank you Sincerely yours Kevin Green KG

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
