Synopsis

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.
