Streets of New York: Volume 1
Mark Anthony, Erick S Gray, Anthony Whyte

Streets Of New York Volume 1 takes readers into the turbulent lives of Promise, Squeeze, Show, and Pooh, four young men from the rough-and-tumble streets of Brook-nam. Big, brash, and bold, the four are modern-day gangstas who take the law into their own hands, helping to rid the ‘hood of derelicts by jacking drug dealers, pimps, and prostitutes. Getting rid of the trash has honed their skills in the urban sports of robbery, jooksing, and jacking, and the gang is good at what they do. But is cleaning up the neighborhood what it’s really all about, or have they begun to enjoy the thrill of the hunt just a little too much? When is enough, enough? A true coming-of-age urbanthology, these funny and exciting stories land the reader deep in Gotham’s gritty underbelly.

“I am no lover of Hip-Hop literature that doesn't have a moral story but truth be told, like it or not, as with its musical counterpart, the Hip Hop Lit genre sparkles with innovation. The Streets of New York is yet another step ahead of the pack as three giants of the genre collaborate to bring a unique voice to the grit and crime on the streets of New York.... and yes, redemption and regret.” —Marva Allen (owner of Hue-man Bookstore Harlem, NYC)

"Finally a urban novel that keeps it all the way real. The Streets Of New York is the truth! A gritty, hardcore page turner that will hold you from the first page to the very last. —The Real Freeway Ricky Ross (from BET's American Gangster series and co-author of Black Scarface)

Streets of New York: Volume 2
Mark Anthony, Erick S Gray, Anthony Whyte

Volume II brings together the collective efforts of Anthony Whyte, Erick S. Gray and Mark Anthony with a devastating foreword aptly delivered by K’wan. A year later Promise tries to pull farther away from the gangsta life, but the streets keep calling. Squeeze and Show are making out like bandits with a nightclub they now operate in Brooklyn, called the Brooklyn Café. Grindin’ in the streets is no longer an option but this legal hustle still requires street muscles and trouble follow the pair like heat on a hot, sunny day. The hustle of the streets is brought to the club scene with the same energy. Promise is envious and returns to claim what he believes he’s owed. This sets off a divide amongst the gang. It’s a rift so wide that a war amongst the partners is set-off, leaving the participants reeling and grieving with deadly losses. Find out how it all unfolds in the Street of New York Volume II.
