He struggles financially and has primary custody of Brie. He can't stand Brie's mother Minerva and doesn't want Brie growing up under too much of her influence. One morning he pops in a Teletubbies tape for Brie that his mother picked up at a yard sale. In the middle of the tape is video of the nation's hottest rapper, Snatch-Back and his entourage gang-raping a blonde. Saludeen isn't sure what to do with this. He takes up a suggestion by his best friend Kheli to blackmail Snatch-Back with the tape for $1 million. But Saludeen soon finds himself in too deep especially when Brie is kidnapped...and none other by Kheli who's betrayed him. A rather fractured mystery littered with Philadelphia urban slang. no reviews | add a review

Then Sticks stumbles on a bootleg video of a rap star with a solid rep, caught on tape doing something that could end his career and send him to jail. Stick's friend Kheli convinces him it's the get rich quick scheme he needs. But then Kheli has an agenda of her own and the rapper isn't in a mood to play...and the word on the street is that Sticks is a dead man. No library descriptions found. |
