"Slim is a true thug who is trying to make it out of the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana into the rap game. With a gangsta reputation and a quick trigger finger that follows him everywhere he goes, trouble is always nearby. After his latest stint in prison, Slim decides that it's time to dedicate himself to blowing up in the music industry, but the streets never let go. Will old beefs and bitter enemies continue to threaten this burgeoning rap star's rise? Or will spitting lyrics about his lifestyle become Slim's way out of the hood? When drug dealing and gunplay is deeply embedded in a young man's soul, will he ever be able to escape his past? Or will the saying 'live by the gun, die by the gun' turn out to be true?"--Back cover.
