About Riding Chrome:
Growing up in any inner city is rough especially with drugs, gangs and crime. Memphis, Tennessee is no exception. You have to make a choice, hit the streets with your boys or the church house with grandma. Rodney or shall we call him Hot-Rod, jumped off the porch at 15 years old and wasn’t headed to church or school. With momma still the life and no positive direction, this young man followed the path laid by his favorite rap group 3-6 Mafia and his dope smoking, car stealing best friend Slim Jim. He met all sorts of people along the way, some real, some fake, but things changed when he met the love of his life Brittany.
For the first time he had some kind of positive force in his life. After Hot-Rod hit a brick wall and had no choice but to go to prison. TT took his cell mate and the jail house Chaplin to lead him back to the life that grandma wanted to introduce him to.
Also included as bonus reading material is the constitution of the United States, the written law for brothers and sisters still incarcerated awaiting trial. Don’t give up!
