Whatever the reason was for you picking it up at whatever book store or one-clicking it on Amazon.com. Thank You. You gave me a shot and that’s all I’ve ever wanted. No handouts, just a shot. One measly shot. Good looking out, I appreciate it. I’d like to give a shout out to The Jordan Downs Projects and The city of Watts in which the main characters in this book are from. Like my homeboy, Battle Rapper, Pro Aktive used to say ‘On Young, Watts is like a whole ‘notha state. Our walk, our talk, how niggaz move…we’re different.’ Respect to my round Doe Boy, one of the realest breathing air. I love you my nigga, and I’m not ‘bout to say No Homo. You know what it is with us. Salutationz to Terry L. Wroten and No Brakes Publishing, I see you East Side, grinding and making them movez. We’re from The Bottomz ain’t no place else left to go but to The Top. I’ll see you there, homie. My hat’s off to Author Godfather Wesley Hunter for offering me his wisdom and knowledge, respect, OG. To my mother, Stella Ray aka My Old Lady aka the original Weezy F. Baby, I love you too death. You’re the strongest person that I have ever known. You aren’t a quitter and you didn’t raise any either. I hope to make you proud of me one day. Wit yo nagging ass! Lol Love you, ma. To my brother and my best friend, Tibbs, our bond is like no other. You always push me to go after whatever I desire. You always encourage me to do all of the thingz I wanted to do with my life. Let nothing or no one come between our union. We’re all we got. I’d kill for you and I’d die for you. I Am My Brother’s Keeper. This s**t ain’t just tatted on my arm. To my Uncle Big Mac, I’ll never forget the jewels you’ve laced me with whether it was on some street s**t or manhood. Although, I was so young and innocent at the time you were giving me the game I still embodied it. You were right the life of a real nigga is a cold and lonely one. My Big Cousin NeeCee aka Mamma Mia, I see you doing yo thang out here with them dinnerz. KANIGETAPLATE gone soar Loved One, you already gave it its wings. I can’t wait to walk into Mamma’s place or whatever you plan on calling your establishment. If you’re ever in the Los Angeles area hit my reli on her f*******: @Kanigetaplate.

Shouts out to the whole East Side, Low Bottomz, I grew up on the corner of Adams and Griffith, right across the street from ACE mini market, used to be Charlsey’s mini mart (My Unc had that). Never forget my soil that’s who I’m putting on for. REST IN PEACE: Bryant Royal and Lymus ‘Lil KB’ White. James Shelton Ray Grandfather, you’re the only father I’ve known.
