Mackdaddy: Legacy of a GAngsta

by Darrell King, Darrell A. King Sr.

The harsh projects of Fort Green, Brooklyn -- a cruel, unforgiving and treacherous environment in which two young brothers, DiAngelo and Paco Lovett, learn as tender-aged gradeschoolers how to rob, steal and hustle as efficiently as seasoned criminals many years their senior. However, an abrupt relocation to the West Coast exposes the young New Yorkers to the dark, murky depths of inner city Los Angeles. In time the teens are initiated into the circle of one of South Central's most lethal gangs. Thus begins their tumultuous descent into a sinister world of gang violence, police corruption, drug trafficking, prostitution and murder. Journey if you dare into an underworld beyond the dazzling glamour of Tinseltown and swank mansions of Beverly Hills, where drug money is the name of the game, where the players are expendable and power is not the exception ... but the rule.

His first published work of fiction was penned during the fall of 1976 as a student of Mary Field’s Elementary School on South Carolina’s Daufuskie Island. This effort was an adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkein’s “The Hobbit,” that he also wrote and illustrated. It was published in the school’s quarterly periodical, “The Daufuskie Kid’s Magazine.”
Darrel King has written stories and numerous poems, several of which were published in the 1995-1996 “Poetry Anthology” by the National Library of Poetry in Owings Mills, Maryland.

Dramas he read in novels by great writers such as Donald Goines and Iceberg Slim captivated his attention. These tales prompted Mr. King to begin his literary career writing his very own stories of urban crime and inner city drama.
