He built an empire from his infamous Dirty South crew's street riches. He's an unstoppable force in the music business. But when an even more powerful rival guns for his kingdom, can anyone survive to rule?

The Crescent Crew's success is about to become legendary. Between unprecedented business maneuvers and brilliant street-based strategy, their former founder, Qwess, is on the verge of creating the biggest independent label in music. But when Qwess' hottest superstar makes a reckless play for the Queen of R&B, it ignites an all-out war between Qwess and his New York-based counterpart, ruthless rap mogul Diamond. Now, with the police closing in and Diamond poised to finish Qwess for good, it's too late for justice, peace--or any reconciliation. This is Dirty music and the game just got dirtier.
