Description: "Heavy in the game is a story about a hustler in the city of Los Angeles and his journey to the top of the drug business, only to find out that all that glitters is not gold once he gets in too deep and the streets become filled with envy. Jahshawn King, better known as Youngster, has become a very successful hustler in the streets of L.A while trying to raise his son, Jay. However, an incident in his past continues to haunt him and may seal his fate. He travels through the city among the notorious street gangs and the epidemic of drug use while jealousy, envy, and murder are only some of the obstacles that lurks as he attempts to stack his chips and get out of the game before becoming just another statistic locked away in prison or loses his life. Take a ride with Youngster and find out that it's definitely not all about the fast money, sex, and material things when you're heavy in the game"--Cover, page 4.
