About the Book

Black Male, An independent artist is bringing you the tales of street life. It's a story about a kid named Koran Davis who leaves California ghetto and moves into Arkansas ghetto with the same violence and drug selling.

RESPONSIBILITY
At an early age, Koran's father taught him to respect his family who comes first out of everything. Getting educated is how you overcome obstacles and to be what you want to be in life.

CODE OF THE STREETS
If you're in a crew, and somebody in it does something wrong like selling drugs or killing, you never tell anybody outside the crew what they've done. Because if you, that's a violation, and a violation could get you murdered by your own friends.

EARLY REDEMPTION
After witnessing the violence that Crazy Joe does, and the drug selling that 3D did, Koran was smart enough to know that if he didn't take another route, he could have gotten killed by his enemies, or got incarcerated by the police. So, he turned his attention to the woman he fell in love with, "Stacy."
About the Author: Joe Young a.k.a Black Male was born in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1977. He grew up in Hot Springs, but was moving back and forward from Arkansas to Marion Louisiana as a kid. He got use to both environments and was getting educated in school and on the streets which was a good thing because a High School diploma is a powerful tool to have. On the streets you learn what to do and not to do. His Dad died in 1990, and he had to decide what to do on his own to survive. There's seven kids on his Dad side which three have died. He graduated from Hot Springs High School in 1997. He got a Welding Diploma in 2000. On his Mom side, He have six brothers and one sister who deeply protected her before her passing in 2007. He have a lot of nephews and nieces older and younger than him, Some who really support him. When one of his brothers started doing rap music, that influenced him to do it to. He wrote his first song called "Lord have mercy," He kept writing and produced first album called "Da world belongs 2 Da Black Male" which sold 231 copies on the streets. His second album, "Da B.O.S.S a.k.a Blacassassin that sold 339 copies, and a compilation called Spa City's Most Wanted that sold a 153 copies. Him and another artist is working on his fourth album called Life of a B.O.S.S that's going in stores. Now he finished a novel called Hood Stories, A fictional story about street life in Hot Springs that everybody can relate to. When "Bangin in Little Rock" came out, they showed the violence and drug selling that black men did. In Hot Springs, they were doing the same thing and no one got to tell their stories, So his Novel gives you an idea of what was going on in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
