Loyalty, Love, and BETRAYAL: An Urban Hood Tale: Surviving the Hand that was Dealt Growing Up in the Hood (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692275610)

Wayne Grind is one of the hardest working men in entertainment. He is from Franklinton, Louisiana, and gained his start and name as a promoter in the entertainment industry. With the mentality to Network and Grind, he has put on several shows in different markets, working with various artists such as The King of Swing Tucker, Big Pokey, Juvenile, Yung Buck, Kelsey Nykole, Juicy Badazz, Karlie Red, and J Harden, just to name a few. He is CEO of WG Management/Consultant and Co-CEO of The Network Grind. His company The Network Grind is responsible for discovering rap artist Ed Da Realist from Richmond, VA. Wayne currently manages Super Producer Heartbeatz, and his company consulted with Lil' Boosie's mother while Lil' Boosie was incarcerated. Wayne Grind has a gift in discovering talent, and he loves to put people together to create something great. The Network Grind is a catalyst for the independent artist as well as a company that bridges people together for positive change, putting on different events for community, teens, and the homeless. The Network Grind has provided many Easter baskets for kids in high-risk neighborhoods, fed and clothed the homeless, as well as provided over 500 wigs for people suffering with cancer - and that's only a few of the events his company has hosted. Once Wayne learned the right ways to deal with anger and found a love for God, he was able to implement positive change in his own life. He made it out to turn a negative into a positive, but unfortunately, his 13 year-old son wasn't as fortunate. His son lost his life to gun violence, hit by a stray bullet during a shoot-out between two people in his neighborhood. So the hunger to save kids is one of Mr. Grind's primary focuses. If he can help stop even one mother or father from getting the news of tragedy, he is aiming to do whatever he can. He has just completed his first two non-fiction novels based on his life called Loyalty, Love, & BETRAYAL: Parts 1 & 2 - Surviving the Hand That was Dealt Growing Up in the Hood.
