Synopsis:
Sometimes life hands us a bat and a uniform and then drop us in the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs and two strikes. Losing by one you have no choice but to score.
Wayne was fresh out of prison with the mindset to do right; live a law-abiding life. But circumstances were forcing him back onto the road he had sworn to never again travel.
Not one to give up, he mustered up the courage and decided to give the streets one last try. This time he vowed to go hard or go home. And true to his word, he went hard, using the backs of any and all as a ladder to climb up; not caring who, what, when, where, or why. He was all in.
He had learned in prison that only the heartless survived, and circumstances had hardened his heart. Now anger and bitterness were pushing him toward becoming heartless. And if being heartless was what it would take to make it, then so be it.
But karma is a motherfucker when you're playing against the odds.

C.R.I.P ( Cash Rules In Power)
"See, the thing about the streets? They don't love nobody. You either make it out or you get buried in it. Ain't no in-between." In the heart of Compton, where gang wars and fast money run the block, a young hustler gets caught between survival and ambition. He never wanted this life-he had dreams, plans, a way out. But when bills pile up and the streets start whispering his name, the choice ain't his no more. At first, it's just about the money. A couple of deals to keep the lights on, to put food on the table. But the streets? They don't let you dabble. One move turns into another. One favor leads to a debt. And before he knows it, he's in too deep. A name. A rep. A body on the pavement. Now, he ain't just another kid trying to make it. Now, he's a player. And in this game, you either rise to the top or get put six feet under. C.R.I.P. (Cash Rules in Power) is the untold story of a young hustler's rise from the trenches to the throne. The money, the power, the love, and the loss-it all comes with a price. The only question is, will he make it out before the streets take everything from him?
