About "Flippin' The Hustle":
Born and raised in the Projects of Richmond, VA, Derrick Richards’ life was changed. His destiny to become a federal agent was forged at an early age when he witnessed the untimely death of his older brother and father figure Carlo at the hands of a up and coming drug dealer.
However, when Derrick took the assignment to bring down the Black Tar Boyz neither he nor the FBI could have known just how deep he would go undercover, how easily he would fit into his new persona, or how hard it would be to bring him back when the game, the mean Brooklyn streets and a new found love grabbed a hold of him!
Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “Flippin’ The Hustle”?
Trae Macklin: “Flippin’ The Hustle” book was inspired by lot of trips out of town on my grind and all the wild stuff I experienced and watched go down in the streets. That goes from the sex with dimes to the shootouts with killers.
