Pain made him. Music saved him. Fame almost destroyed him.
From the time he was a kid, Zion knew survival better than safety. He watched his mother suffer at the hands of her abusive boyfriend. One night, Zion snapped... and his life changes forever. Soon the streets became his new home, his new family, his new war zone.
Hustling as a corner boy was just the beginning. When he picks up a mic, the hood sees a star in the making. He spits pain, power, and purpose-but the spotlight comes with a shadow. Money, women, envy, and addiction threaten to tear him apart from the inside out.
As Zion rises from street legend to rap sensation, the same demons he's been running from are waiting at every turn. And just when he thinks he's made it, he realizes... the price of fame might be everything.

Three Letters, Painful Meaning: BYE. [COMPLETED ✔]
[COMPLETED] Note: under editing! Love, memories, and pain. Those three words sometimes are the meaning of a relationship. The love you have for each other. The memories you make together and the pain you felt in any problems you encounter alone... or together. Pain in a relationship is unexpected, you don't know when will it come.. when will it happen, and what will be the cause. Sometimes, battles are the cause of pain in a relationship. In this world full of battles, Love is the most powerful weapon. But what if love makes you the weakest person on the battlefield, will you still fight? Will you continue? What if the one that you love left you in a world full of struggles and battles? Can you still face the battlefield and move forward? Can you still fight, without love?
