Diaries of ChiRaq:: Name of The Game

Prepare yourself for a shocking, but realistic journey through the blood-stained streets of the notorious "Chi" aka "Chi-Raq" (Chicago). As seen through the eyes of the author, he chronicles much of his own life experiences from childhood, through the turbulent "Crack Era" 90's and up until the present day. (Disclaimer) Though 'Diaries of Chiraq' is truly inspired by actual events it is by no means intended to be a factual account of any event, nor is it an actual depiction of any of the street gangs or gang members mentioned in this story. With utmost respect to the Black Gangster Disciple's and Vice Lords organization's founders and members, the characterization of these organizations was solely for making the story authentically Chicago. Not since Eric Monte's 1975 'Coolie High' has there been someone to more accurately and truly tell our story, the inner-city Chicago (Da Hood). Diaries of ChiRaq is a screenplay converted into this book and is the heart wrenching story of two very young and close cousins who end up choosing opposite paths in life; one of determination and destiny, the other of dope, disappointment and death.
