R.E.A.L. (Remember Everybody Ain't Loyal): Parts 1 & 2 Deluxe Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798839176546)

Not many individuals living the street life are motivated to leave it behind. Sometimes, the reality of death or prison isn't enough to convince one to walk the straight and narrow. That was the case with MB, who ruled the streets and didn't think twice about what the final outcome would be. Even after pleas from his loved ones, he wasn't willing to let the fast life go. It wasn't until something drastic happened that hurt the very depths of his soul that he began to contemplate his actions and if continuing living his lifestyle was worth the risk. As dramatic events in his life begin to unfold, he realizes that he can't trust anyone out here and nobody is as loyal as they appeared to be.

Porscha is struggling to raise her spoiled teenage daughter, Tatiana, who she has with MB. He's an active father, but what he does for a living goes against the values she is trying to instill in their daughter. She falls ill and doesn't have the energy to battle with Tatiana's rebellion and enforce discipline. On the other hand, it's not until Tatiana is faced with life or death that she begins to think more clearly and wants a second chance to do right by her mother. Will MB be able to save his daughter from destruction? Will he ever figure out who's really loyal to him or who's just riding his wave?

Sometimes one's loyalty can go unmatched....

That was the case with Maurice "MB" Bishop and when someone crossed him, they had to suffer the consequences. Nonetheless, he was ready to leave the trap life and his savage lifestyle behind. While preparing his successors to take over, he realizes they aren't ready. If they don't get their issues under control everything MB worked hard for could fall and possibly take him down as well.

When Damu hears that MB is ready to step down he's ready to step up. However, his family wants him to leave this lifestyle behind for his unborn child. No one had a problem supporting him when they benefited from it, but now they were switching up. He's feeling the pressure from his loved ones, but he's not so sure he's ready to turn over a new leaf. The way his family begins moving makes him think one of them will eventually sell him out.

T-Streetz handles business, but his extravagant lifestyle draws too much attention. His crew has to stay on him about toning it down, but he won't listen. He's also a ladies man and never falls short of getting what he wants, even when the fruit is forbidden. He's never been one to be disloyal, but he may have already crossed the line and bitten off more than he can chew.

Frost is as loyal as they come. He's always looked out for his boys and wouldn't think of betraying them. Yet, the unthinkable happens when he's caught slipping and MB begins to question his loyalty. To make matters worse, one day he looks up and he sees the Feds watching him. His loyalty to his boys is already being questioned. He knows its going to be an even bigger dilemma when the Feds start interrogating him. Will he fold or will he stay loyal to his boys?
