SOME SORT OF JUDAS
Kevin Williams and Mark Moore grew up in The Jungle, the violent neighbourhood of Lawrence Heights, sandwiched between a busy urban freeway and a high-end shopping mall.
They started as childhood friends and became two ambitious, young hustlers. Kevin was striving for hip-hop glory. Mark was more bluster than talent. Kevin had a way with women. Mark had a way with guns.
Growing up they knew one truth – talking to the cops can get you killed.
