About this listen
Being the daughter of a pastor, Erica Collins never got a chance to live a normal life. When she lost her mother at a very young age, she questioned her faith in the Lord. Pastor Collins tried to rescue her faith by tying her everyday life even more closely to the church.
Now 21 years old, Erica’s only escape from her father and his Bible is when she hooks up with her best friend, Nicole. She finds a little freedom through Nicole’s wild stories, with most of them being about her boyfriend, Mekco. Erica is all in, craving the attention and the lifestyle that Nicole has.
Mekco is the leader of The Detroit Brick Boyz. Now that his best friend and the former leader of the crew, Pierre aka P, is out of jail, Mekco is ready to put his boy back on without stepping down as the leader.
Before getting knocked, Pierre was used to living the fast lifestyle and making money. After he’s released, he is introduced to the beautiful Erica Collins. Once Erica enters his life, he questions if he has been living wrong all along. He soon finds himself falling for a young lady who didn’t have any business looking his way.
He wants to do right by her, but pursuing his position as the leader of the Brick Boyz and dealing with snakes from the past cause him to push her away.
This pastor’s daughter has some choices to make. Does she return to the flock, or fully enter the world of these kingpins?

In the eighties and nineties, Wesley Evans, better known as Ruby, was Brooklyn’s wealthiest, longest reigning kingpin. Accomplishing all it took to make history, including rubbing elbows with celebrities and expanding his businesses out of state, he avoided all the bounties put on his head and the NYPD’s handcuffs. Ruby set the bar in Brooklyn, and when he finally became a legit family man, he left behind rules. Ten years later, Brooklyn’s kingpins have followed in Ruby’s footsteps. Life is good; Brooklyn’s people are good—and then Felix Brown, a.k.a. Straw, comes to power.

A tragic beginning to life led Jah and Shauka Disciple to homelessness and poverty at such a young age that they grew into men before their time. Yet, they turned their hunger, abandonment, and suffering into diamonds, mansions, and power. The natural hustler instinct they’d inherited from their father was their driving force. Yet, this story starts when Messiah turns 18 and is finally freed from his adoptive parents. Reluctantly, he leaves his twin sister behind as he, Jah, and Shauka run the streets and break yearning hearts along the way.

Hidden away near the end of Long Island, New York, is a community where affluent African Americans, their friends, and the wannabes have secretly vacationed for more than 75 years. Unlike the bluffs of Martha’s Vineyard, black folks here own five miles of prime beachfront. With a mix of legacy families, new money, hangers-on, and thirsty developers, drama can never be far behind in a place called...the BLACK HAMPTONS.

Law grew up in the trenches. Hustling since the age of 12, his focus was making life better for his mother and brother. Finding intimate love was never a priority because he didn’t have many examples of that around him. Instead, he was taught to focus on getting money, not finding the one. Yet upon seeing her, Zuri pulled something out of Law that was foreign to him. Though he had been with his girlfriend, Whitney, for a long, exhausting decade, he had never experienced a woman taking his heart so mercilessly.

I can’t
First, the only Kingpin was Cross. This was Trap Star Love Chronicles. Second, how do u end a story without finishing it? I have so many questions. Where is Pierre? What happens with the Pastor? Is the baby Tim’s? Does Erica stay? What about Nicole? How do u go from suicide attempt to shopping? That’s a reckless image to portray. U have got to be kidding me.

An Incomplete Story
I found "The Kingpin" by T. Friday to be deeply disappointing and problematic. The title is misleading, and the inclusion of Carl Weber’s name feels entirely unjustified. The story is not only poorly executed but also romanticizes domestic abuse in a troubling way. I listened to the book from start to finish, hoping for some clarity, but instead, I was left confused and unsatisfied. The narrative follows a woman who escapes one abusive situation only to end up in another that’s not much better. This portrayal does not offer any meaningful insight or resolution, and it seems to perpetuate harmful patterns rather than addressing them. Overall, the book failed to meet my expectations and left me questioning its purpose.
