FAT CAT, 50 CENT AND THE RISE
OF THE HIP HOP HUSTLER Ethan Brown Based on police wiretaps and exclusive interviews with drug kingpins and
hip hop insiders, this is the untold story of how the streets and
housing projects of southeast Queens took over the rap industry. Ethan
Brown’s gripping narrative digs beneath the hip hop fables to
re-create the rise and fall of hustlers like Lorenzo “Fat Cat”
Nichols and Gerald “Prince” Miller. Spanning twenty-five years, from
the violence of the crack era to 50 Cent’s battles against Ja Rule and
Murder Inc., Fat Cat, 50 Cent And The Rise Of The Hip-Hop Hustler
is the first inside look at the infamous southeast Queens crews and
their connections to gangster culture in hip hop today.
