The Dark Side of South Beach Eric a Kelly

Birthed from the womb in the early eighties. Right around the time the crack epidemic destroyed families and communities. I witnessed the epidemic up close and personally and I watched the enemy seek people to fall prey to drug addiction. I've grieved with family members & friends who lost loved ones to AIDS and other drug-related illnesses. I've seen the after math of young souls all gunned down to senseless violence & drug wars taking place in the streets where we lived. I watched being blinded by the illusions as I and even more of my peers were hauled off to prison for crimes related the so-called GAME. It affected our lives, our politics, the movies that we watched and the music that we listened to. And it destroyed our community piece by piece.
