‘At first there's no pain, then you feel it. So hot, it's almost like freezing ice.’ For D' Mario it wasn't about the dope-dealing, the hoes, the baby mommas, the fast money of selling crack or even finding away out. It was all about the struggle, how hard it was for a black man to find a job now-a-days, how much disrespect every one got in the streets including the crack heads, the strippers, the home-less, even the rare rich ones. But he never forgot about what the hood aka Crack Town did for all the young men including him. Being nine-teen in the deep hoods of Manhattan made him grow up, he knew some people were dragged into drugs but that was a choice. You can't do good if you don't try to, after getting justice for the abuse from his father and raising his two-year-old daughter by his self, Mario had definitely grown up. Someone from the past shows up but can he accept her, or judge her before listening to her story. RATED-R // URBAN
If anyone had ever told me that I'd be pregnant with a thug's baby, I would have never believed you.
My life had been great. I was living in the Upper West Side with my mother and baby sister, maintained good grades, kept to myself, and enjoyed playing basketball.
During the middle of junior year, I was discovered by the "mean girls" of the school and they saw me as their next recruit. So, I joined them. And since then, my life turned upside down.
The night after graduation, we went to a party in the Lower East Side. I wasn't planning to do anything "risky", but after a couple drinks and an awkward encounter, I found myself in bed with the son of one of the biggest drug lords in Manhattan.
A few weeks later ... I found out , what my new reality was.
