Works #1: Ahmad Hassan Sinclair, 25, was taught to always fight and work hard for what he wanted. In the life he was given nothing was ever handed to him. He grew up in the hoods of Houston, witnessing things no child should ever see in their life. His mom and pop worked hard just tryna make ends meet, to keep food on the table and clothes on their kids back. But it was far from easy .. Seeing his parents struggle the way they did for years, motivated him to work ten times harder. He made it a mission to not end up like his folks, he wanted more in life. He knew there was more to life than what he grew up seeing. But he also knew in order to be somebody in this world as a black man he had to fight and strive for it and also dodge the bullshit that came along with it. He set goals, he had dreams, he had a vision and nothing could stop him from achieving them. Now that he's at the top of his game, making money, living the live he always wanted, seeing the things he never seen and moving up the success path .. he figured life would eventually turn out to be great but sadly he still isn't happy or content with how things are.. there's this one missing piece in his life that will fully complete him. But let's see how determined Ahmad will be to find what that missing piece is or what he will do to get it.

"Don't ever leave me again" With age comes responsibility, some comes sooner than for others. Being in a family filled with drugs and murder it's only normal to follow in the footsteps of those before you. With old beefs growing more and more deadly the family is more divided then ever. Everything comes at a cost and karma is very much real, it just hits in different ways. With the Jamaican cartel thriving in the drug world and deemed untouchable an old beef between Moriah and Kaine seems to be growing out of control leaving people stuck in the middle. New York also has stepped in to the feud when it's leader grows power hungry forcing sides to be chosen, their motto is 'Death Before Dishonor'. Ajani and Kaine's love story might be officially over, especially when mistakes are made and the past comes to light and sides are chosen out of lies and deceit. When it's all said and done only one side will remain and the California organization you all have grown to love might have just met its match.

Heiress never had it easy growing up, especially after her mother died. She grew up around her father and his harem of women.

One year is all Heiress has until her entire life changes and she's left to fend for herself, but with family and friends weighing heavy on her shoulders, trying to gather enough money for the future is the last thing on her mind when she's more concerned about the present and all the troubles she faces. But will she be able to survive the streets of Oakland on her own or will she get the help she needs from an unsuspecting enemy? Cover by @UrbanistSociety
