Before all the drugs, before all the new beginnings of my career. I personally think my life was a crumbled up newspaper. I held my tears back, from the past to the new things that lie ahead. I have this second mind that told me do it. Just once, and I did. And no, not this silly love story romance, I actually fell in love.

"How much do you charge?" The man asked. "What?" Erica was bewildered at the question. "Look if it's a high price, I'll pay it as long as you don't have the clap or something" Erica then put two and two together. This man thought she was a prostitute. A fucking prostitute. She then threw her cigarette on the ground and slapped the man hard across his face. He was in shock. "I am not a whore you rude bastard!" She shrieked absolutely livid at his assumption and pushed past him making her way back home. He was truly shocked at the girls actions, never being turned away from a girl. It didn't matter whether if the girl was a whore or a very respectful lady, it never happened. 25th of March 2018-

🏆 Hit #1 Amazon Bestseller THE HARLEM PLUG Written By Harlem Holiday "To have once been a criminal is no disgrace. To remain a criminal is the disgrace." -Malcolm X In Harlem's tumultuous history, there are many tragedies. For those growing up in this part of New York City, a young man known simply as Fritz from West 112th Street became an urban legend in Harlem. In the 1970s, Richard "Fritz" Simmons is introduced to the drug trade, by an associate of the Lucchese crime family, one of the five families of La Cosa Nostra (the Mafia). After negotiating a deal with the Medellín Cartel, Fritz becomes New York's Cocaine Consignment King. The lucrative deal unlocks a lavish lifestyle with more money than Fritz's family and Harlem could've imagined. Now, distributing kilos of cocaine on a kingpin level to many well-known Harlem heavyweights, Fritz employs hundreds throughout the five boroughs of New York City and neighboring states. Fritz further extends his generosity in ways few from the community had ever seen. Fritz reigns supreme for over a decade in the drug game, making millions under the radar of the NYPD and he never got busted. Some look at Fritz as the Keyser Soze of the 80s. The most enigmatic drug dealer of that time. HARLEM HOLIDAY brings her readers the inside scoop after almost three-decades of silence, speculation, and secrecy. This biography is the inside story of Fritz never before told; the tale of how a lowly street hustler rises to orchestrate a one-man-syndicate. It's an account of events, as told by Fritz's family and closest friends, and details gathered from newspaper and magazine articles, court transcripts, and social media. Fritz's truth, joy, and despair are fully disclosed, while circumstances surrounding his death still remain a mystery.
