How it was in 1995 Trying to Get Rich as a Street Hustler

It’s 1995 in East New York, Brooklyn. You’re seventeen, with eleven dollars in your pocket and an overdue electric bill on your mother’s kitchen table. Then an older guy from your building pulls up in a black Lexus and offers you a way to stop being broke.

Small errands turn into cash-filled envelopes. Soon you’ve got fresh Timberlands, a pager, and people on the block who finally know your name. You bring your best friend Marcus into the crew, buy your first BMW, and convince yourself you’re doing it all for your family.

Then the money starts coming with demands. Friends disappear, rivalries turn deadly, and walking away becomes harder than getting involved ever was. By the time you question what Saint’s Lexus really represents, you’ve already paid more than you imagined.

This is a story about 90s Brooklyn, friendship, family, and a kid who confuses looking rich with being free.
