## Biography

### Meeting with Meech and Terry

12th Street arrange a meeting with Meech and Terry to discuss the 50 Boyz moving into their territory. Meech proposes they pull their resources together, but 12th Street isn't interested in an alliance. That's when Terry pulls a gun as a show of force, resulting in Meech rethinking his stance, and giving up the area near the funeral home. Later, they approach Lamar with an opportunity to join the crew, but he declines.

### Reuniting with Lamar

Having reconsidered, Lamar takes 12th Street up on their offer and is partnered with Slick, who unbeknownst to the rest of the crew, used to run with Lamar back in the day. But they fell apart not too long after Lamar got locked up, as Slick didn't have any product to keep them together and decided to work for Jay Mo. Slick suspects that Lamar intends to take over 12th Street, which he does. He then tells Slick that he heard Jay Mo put the hit out on Terry and to spread the word. Later, after witnessing a less than friendly interaction between Lamar and Monique, Slick advises him to take a smoother approach by showing her that he's truly devoted.

12th Street is without leadership, as Jay Mo is missing and Filmel is in the hospital. Some suspect that the 50 Boyz are behind this, but Lamar has a plan in mind, with Slick backing him, telling the guys to fall back in the meantime. And they do just that, even following Lamar's lead after a near run-in with the 50 Boyz at the bowling alley.

### Stealing dope from the 50 Boyz

After a verbal encounter with Terry at the mall, 12th Street decide to pay the 50 Boyz a visit at the power plant after getting word they were serving from a food truck. They disrupt the flow by informing the non-drug using customers of the "Stone Burger" on the secret menu. This sends the crowd into a frenzy, forcing the 50 Boyz to close up shop early.

12th Street's visit by the food truck the previous day was merely a distraction so that the 50 Boyz would come out in large numbers, leaving their stash house unprotected and allowing Lamar and Slick to steal their dope, though Slick is shot in the leg during the escape.

In retaliation to their dope being stolen, Meech kidnaps Zoe, sending 12th Street not only on a mission to find her, but for Meech and Terry's residence as well. While following Terry, Slick walks into a trap and is taken to a warehouse, where they restrain him to a chair and torture him for the location of the stash they stole. Meech arrives not long after and takes Slick to see Zoe, who is just outside of the warehouse, sitting in Meech's car. Meech gives Slick a choice: Either he can reveal the location of the dope and take Zoe home or Meech will cut Zoe's head off and mail it back to Lamar with a note that says Slick had a chance to save her. And so, Slick relents and reveals that their dope is on 12th Street and Harper Ave. Having fulfilled his end of the deal, Slick is released and allowed to take Zoe home.

### You can't stop the rain

Lamar is outraged that Tiny has rallied 12th Street against him. He's also upset with Slick for giving up the stash, though Slick assures Lamar that he can get everything back, including his family, but he has to start thinking straight. But after that fails, Slick returns home and begins packing a bag before he becomes Lamar's next victim. However, he then hears Lamar singing and finds him down the hall. Having lost his family, his crew, and his stolen dope, Lamar takes his frustrations out on Slick, singing *You can't stop the rain* while stabbing him as he crawls out into the living room and bleeds out on the floor.
