This is the book Colman Domingo autographs on screen in the A24 film Sing Sing.
Now rebuilt as the Revised & Enhanced Edition. 378 pages. 31 chapters.
Brooklyn, the 1990s. Rasheen Smith has a mother he cannot protect and a little brother he would die for. What he has instead of options is nerve — enough to take what nobody else will touch.
That nerve gets noticed. Killer Kato doesn't want a soldier. He wants a weapon: a stick-up kid who will run suicide missions on rival drug houses and never ask what comes after. Rasheen takes the work. The work takes everything.
Rikers. Elmira. Clinton. Sing Sing. While Rasheen does his bid, his brother Lameek becomes a rap star — and the man holding Lameek's contract is the same man who put Rasheen in a cell. Getting out is the easy part. Getting to Lameek before Kato does is what the rest of his life comes down to.
Money Grip closes on a turn of dramatic irony readers still argue about, and lands one hard truth: money is not only the root of all evil. It is the master of every motivator, including the ones drenched in good intentions.
