Rate this book
Capone, and his life-long road dawgz, June and Vonzell are out for just one thing…. To get rich!....By any means necessary! As these three partners in crime rise up the ranks from Project-Kids to Street-Dons, their sworn code of "Death Before Dishonor" gets tested by the Feds. Though Capone’s simple pursuit of forward progression as a Hustler gains him an enviable lifestyle of Fame, Fortune and all the women his libido can handle – It also comes with a price. No matter the location – Miami, Charlotte, Connecticut or Puerto Rico – There’s simply no rest for the wicked! HUSTLIN’ BACKWARDS is not the typical street-novel. A Unique Plot, Complex Characters mixed with a Mega-dose of Sensuality makes this story enjoyable by all sorts of readers! A true Hustler himself, Mike Sanders knows the game, inside and out!

Accusations being Consequences

I originally posted this review in April 2005. I just noticed it was gone, and couldn't bear to think that readers would not be blessed with the talents of Mike Sanders.

No matter how many Cadillac's sittin' on spinners... No matter how many gators lining your closet... No matter how many groupies calling your phone... NO, it's never enough....

Capone, a 26 year-old fugitive gets in his feelings about his life as a hustler. Meet Mike, and his Road Dogs Jared, and Vonzell of North Carolina 'Queen City'. As the three long term friends decide to use PS (problem solver) to set some one straight, opportunity comes knocking. Now can these 'little dudes' answer the challenge of being 'REAL BIG BOYS?'

From Robbing, and Stealing, Now Dealing, and Killing... Capone, June, and V don't back down.... Pumping much FEAR in the opposition. The team rises to the responsibility of THE SHINE! But how long can ONE TEAM roll before the power crumbles? Long years to make it, short time to take it....In the streets gangsters die too young, and snitches live too long. Is the code sacred enough to survive?

Look it was the title that had me checking for this book. Mike 'Capone' thoroughly accounts for his teams' growth into the drug world. Guess what? While you think that you're doing it so hard, or so much better it's all 'Hustlin' Backwards!'

Let me find out ya'll sleeping on Mike Sanders talent!

F*ck 'em, Breed 'em, and Mislead 'em

"If a n*gga or a chick had money or dope, better yet both, we were going at them ruthlessly."

Charlotte stick up kids Capone, V, and June are in search of the perfect lick. The big come up that will open the door to bigger and better things.

WARNING. . . WARNING . . . WARNING . . . There are more than just bigger and better things on the other side. As Biggie said, "more money more problems." Now this trio of lifelong friends have to watch their backs for stick up kids, haters, snitches, shady females, and the Feds. As always, what goes up must come down! Will Capone, V, and June get out the game before its GAME OVER?

Ding. Ding. Ding. There went the bell and Mike Sanders came out of his corner swinging. One round and it's a KO!!!
