Publisher's summary

"Have you ever wanted something so bad you was willing to crawl over bodies to get it? I mean, fiend for it so hard it didn’t matter who you hurt, how low you had to scrape, it was gonna be yours? That’s what music and balling did for me. They were the fundamentals behind my rise… and the perpetrators of my fall. They called me Harlem’s black prince. A rising star who carried street dreams on his back. But the streets, ya know. They got a way of coming for theirs. A habit of sneaking up on you when you ain’t looking."

Andre “Thug-A-Licious” Williams came up on Harlem’s meanest streets. But thanks to his nearly ankle-breaking hoop moves and explosive mic skills, he made it out—and dominates the rap scene with chart-topping urban hits.

Thug has sexed all the hottest freaks and has a slew of baby mamas to show for it. But no matter how many women he takes to his bed, only one can claim his heart: successful beauty salon owner Carmeshia “Lil Muddah” Vernoy, his ride-or-die queen, who has stuck by his side and had his back through thick and thin.

But Thug also has a nightmarish history with someone else. Pimp Williams, his older cousin and ex–partner in crime, is a cold-blooded killer who spreads havoc all over Harlem and will stop at nothing to get what he wants—even if it means betraying his own family, crushing Carmeshia, and forcing Harlem’s black prince down to his knees and back to his bloody beginnings.

Noire is a number-one Essence best-selling author from the streets of New York and the editor-in-chief of NoireMagazine.com.

Critic reviews

"Following street lit sensation Candy Licker, Noire returns to gangsta Harlem to tell the tale of Andre ‘Thug-a-Licious’ Williams, a ‘Dawg-4-Lyfe’ whose death is announced in the preface and whose life unfurls in a series of dark, stop-start flashbacks…. The lives of all concerned are unrelentingly grim, but the sex really is hot." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Andre Williams, aka Thug-a-Licious, is a Harlem boy determined to make good relying on his talent and ambition…After a short life of living for the moment, loving and leaving women, he finally has to pay for his past sins, and Carmeshia retaliates for his demise." ( Booklist)

Crazzzzzy

This book here was the truth. I knew from the beginning something was wrong with pimp but for him to set the plan in motion to get his own hurt was crazy. I wish carmisha had told someone what je was doing to her could have saved a lot of people lives. thug just couldn't get enough of these women. surprised herpes was all he got

my review

this book was awesome I love me some thug! my favorite part was how him and muddah met and ge left the tide at her door with money. and nicole small is the best narrator ever. she falls into every character perfect

3 stars

Thug was a sexoholic! Lol the sad part is he wanna do everybody raw, don't pull out then be shocked when the girls tell him they're pregnant, come on man! The ending for him was sad, I didn't like that mudda hid stuff from everyone, if she had been honest their story would have ended a whole lot better than what it did. She upset me when she kept filling the little boy's head up with detailed lies about his "father", it all came back to bite her in the ass real tough smh. All in all, Nicole s,all was great, love her, the story could've been a little better.

Jaw dropping...couldn’t stop listening

Grew up in the mean streets of the Southside of Chicago. I related to every character/scenario. Visualized each scene. It’s was REAL, no BS with storyline. So Far Noire has not disappointed!!!

Ending was better than beginning

This book and the story line took off slowly and built up to the finale even slower. overall though once things got to going it was good. Collin and Dexter were both stupid and put up with nonsense. Ibn was a self centered idiot and Michael and bunches took forever to get together. Everything came together in the end though.

Incomplete

The story was great but the end was incomplete to me. I had unanswered questions. I did not like that. If the story would have had a better conclusion this book would have been too star to me. Thia is the first book I've read by this author that I did not like the ending.

Very good read

Hoping there will be a part 2. very good book and kept me wanting more!!!!

nice book

good stuff, voice over was a little sketchy but eventually blended in with the persona of each character. great read.

Modern Storytelling from the Streets

Really loved this story. It was a gritty and edgy street tale. I barely made it through some of the scenes. They were not for the faint of heart. It was different. A good listen for those who can enjoy an erotic tale from the hood.

LOVE IT

Wish Thug would have found out about pimp did. NICOLE SMALL A BEAST WITH NARRATING!
