Publisher Description: Growing up on the murderous streets of Chicago, Illinois, YATON ANDERSON A.K.A. YAYO falls into a life of crime at a very young age and is convicted of a brutal homicide. After serving a "juvenile" life sentence, Yayo is released back to the streets as a full grown man who's on a "win at all cost" paper chase. Yayo's once tender heart has been turned ice cold, and he has the mind to match. In a short amount of time, he puts together the Get It Boy Click, and they reign terror throughout the city's drug trade, while Yayo's family prays for him to leave the streets alone. But the addiction to power, fast money and seductive women are hard vices to quit. With rival gangs and gangsta's, along with crooked cops, gunning for their heads, will Yayo and his crew be able to survive the disloyalty and treachery that cause the demise of so many other drug gangs? Or will their blood be the next to soak the streets that they ruthlessly and unapologetically fight to own? |
