Snake Within My Circle Asedgwick Knight

In the midst of the cold, wicked, and windy streets of Chicago, Deontay Miller and his right hand man, Chris, start out as petty hustlers in Cabrini Green housing projects one of the most notorious projects in America. (Home of TV's own: Good Times, Cooly High, and Candy man just to name a few). But once Doughboy, Chris cousin, turns them on to the drug game they apprehensively make the transition from stealing and saling bikes, to copping weight and distributing it in hand to hand transactions. Two years after being introduced to "The game" Deontay is now checking just as much bread as some of the older heads. But unfortunately for Deontay in the depts of the slums getting a little money often tends to make you a target, and Deontay is no exception. After refusing to be extorted by letting Black, the neighborhood bully "Hold something" a mere altercation escalades to Black making an attempt to Deontay's life later on that night. But luckily Deontay escapes the hail of gun fire unscaved . . . The next day in broad daylight, Deontay murders Black in cold blood. This bold barbaric act captured the respect of his peers, causing Deontay's name to ring throughout the streets.
