So I'mma keep it focused on the streets and the struggle. That's what I'm mainly about. Trick Daddy focusgodgonna share on social

In the traditional urban novel, there is only survival or not. The suburban idea, the conformist idea, that agony can be seen to and cured by doctors or psychoanalysis or self-knowledge is nowhere to be found in the city.
