출판사 설명
A cautionary tale about the life of former kingpin Azie Faison, who has become the fabric of street legend
Faison was a ninth grade dropout who earned more than $100,000 a week selling cocaine in Harlem, New York, during the peak of America's "War on Drugs" between 1983 and 1990. Faison, along with two partners, was an urban prince with cars, jewels, and people -- in awe of this million-dollar phenomenon -- at his feet. His legacy has been praised by hip-hop's top names in their lyrics, and his life was the basis for the urban cult classic film Paid in Full starring Mekhi Phifer, Wood Harris, and rapper Cam'ron and produced by Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella Films.
In Game Over, Azie brings forth a powerful memoir of New York's perilous drug underworld and music industry, with an intellect and wisdom to empower and challenge the street culture he knows so very well.

Good read, informative.
Informative. Showing the bad & ugly of the streets. Growing up in Cincinnati in this era, I’ve seen the ugly first hand. I’m glad Azie is shedding light on the life. This is the other side of having fly cars and cribs. Highly recommend!
A young man who stop selling because of this message
Great great book , always wanted to know
More about they lifestyle since the movie , been searching interview and all until I heard AZ had a book. Read it and I gotta say it paints the picture on how his life was and how spiritual he really are. Wish I can have a sit down and seek all the wisdom he can give.
5/5
