The aim of Brown's book is to separate a tragic hustling history of death and despair in Queens from a nostalgic past of glitz and glare. The book's first four chapters provide a history of the drug trade in southeast Queens. mad mike In the late 1970s and early '80s highly organized street pharmaceutical companies began moving large amounts of cocaine and heroine throughout neighborhood blocks. Sparked by a massive migration of the urban poor from Brooklyn into the once mad mike safe black working and middleclass community of Hollis, local hustlers took advantage of this densely mad mike populated pocket of poverty and pain. The crews of Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff, Lorenzo "Fat Cat" Nichols, and Howard "Pappy" Mason were known to bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars per day. The author notes that the drug trade was so lucrative that rather than competition between crews, their success promoted a level of "blinged-out" camaraderie.
