The Art Of Trapping

The ART OF TRAPPING is a unique literary creation for a unique breed of men and women. Somewhere out there in the world is someone in the Trap driven by ambition yet operating blindly. What this short, but informative manifesto of trap provides is ground work of what it entails to rise up from the mud, make some real money and take some real steps towards living a successful and fulfilling life in the world of hustling. It also shines light on the discipline and dedication required to be a successful Trap Star. Trap is born in the ghetto where hopelessness and despair is deeply embedded in the heart of the people. For many, the only glimmer of hope recognized is associated with trapping, and so it is inedible that many children of the ghetto will chose this path. I write for this group. Anything that I've experienced or learned about the game I will gladly impart with to assist my fellow street soldiers in their quest to be successful and to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy. Just know that its called a trap for a reason. That reason is because the odds are against us. For most of us jail and death is the only way out. For me its Federal custody where the game has gifted me a 262 month sentence. I took mine on the chin, grateful for the opportunity to provide for my family, own businesses, ride foreign, wear Rolex watches, live in the sky and spend nights in the best cities enjoying high end parties and vacations. I loved the life I lived being young and balling. What's going to be your story? Will you play? Will you win? Will you lay down or stand tall?Take my jewels and shine. Exploit every corner of my mind. These were some of my thoughts in the game. This is the ART OF TRAPPING!
