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.
For years, rappers from Nas to Ja Rule have hero-worshipped the
legendary drug dealers who dominated Queens in the 1980s with their
violent crimes and flashy lifestyles. Now, for the first time ever,
this gripping narrative digs beneath the hip-hop fables to
re-create the rise and fall of hustlers like Lorenzo "Fat Cat"
Nichols, Gerald "Prince" Miller, Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff, and
Thomas "Tony Montana" Mickens. Spanning twenty-five years, from the
violence of the crack era to Run DMC to the infamous murder of NYPD
rookie Edward Byrne to Tupac Shakur to 50 Cent's battles against Ja
Rule and Murder Inc., to the killing of Jam Master Jay, "Queens
Reigns Supreme" is the first inside look at the infamous southeast
Queens crews and their connections to gangster culture in hip hop
today.
