ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Special thanks to everyone who’s supported me for twenty-(cid:37)ve years
and counting. My intent has always been to share and exchange game
with players worldwide.
Love to all my fallen homeys, dead and locked away in prison. You
are missed dearly.
Eternal love to my inner circle of friends, family, and my wife, who
really know what I go through, and work to keep me focused and
healthy.
Peace to all the young street hustlers, players, and gangstas. To win
the game you must devise an exit strategy. We all saw the last scene in
Scarface.
