Publisher Description
The story of Demtrius “Big Meech” Flenory and his legendary street crew, the Black Mafia Family (BMF), is the tale of a modern-day don who aspired to be something more: a credible name in hip-hop. It is a tale built on the seduction of vast sums of money, a seduction that pulled in hip-hop stars but that also had a darker side. While BMF was able to attract increasingly mainstream stars, its crew members grew notorious for a cult of violence that threatened a host of other celebrities, including the families of pop icon Bobby Brown and Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin. BMF’s ruthlessness caused them to rise to incredible power, but wanting even more lead to their downfall.

“Shalhoup delivers a stunning exposé of a crime empire that collapsed under the weight of its own success…With superb pacing and a thorough handle on her extensive cast, Shalhoup’s true crime debut makes a highly addictive read.”

BMF Listener Reviews
-
" "BMF" is full of information. This is a good read for someone who does not know about the BMF. I sometimes got lost in all of the "name" dropping. "

" i really wanted to learn more about Big Meech and not necessarily all the members of BMF (which is what happens). lots of great information and it's obvious that the author did her homework. yet still, this came across as more of a textbook than a page turner... "
