Based on police wiretaps and exclusive interviews with drug
kingpins and hip-hop insiders, this is the untold story of how the
streets and housing projects of southeast Queens took over the rap
industry. For years, rappers from Nas to Ja Rule have
hero-worshipped the legendary drug dealers who dominated Queens in
the 1980s with their violent crimes and flashy lifestyles. Now, for
the first time ever, this gripping narrative digs beneath the
hip-hop fables to re-create the rise and fall of hustlers like
Lorenzo “Fat Cat” Nichols, Gerald “Prince” Miller, Kenneth
“Supreme” McGriff, and Thomas “Tony Montana” Mickens. Spanning
twenty-five years, from the violence of the crack era to Run DMC to
the infamous murder of NYPD rookie Edward Byrne to Tupac Shakur to
50 Cent’s battles against Ja Rule and Murder Inc., to the killing
of Jam Master Jay, “Queens Reigns Supreme” is the first inside look
at the infamous southeast Queens crews and their connections to
gangster culture in hip hop today.
