Publisher's Summary

When Detroit rap group D12 signed with Eminem’s Shady Records and hit it big, it wasn’t just a victory for the six members of the group, but a game changer for the whole Runyon Ave. crew — all thirty of them. As CB watched his best friends’ rise to fame, he knew it was only a matter of time before D12 reached back and pulled the rest of them up, too. 

But it didn’t take long for him to realize that, despite the backstage access, the parties, and the fans, D12 couldn’t save him — none of them. With a foreboding outlook on the future for his famous friends, CB carves his own path to travel, one that carries him far away from hip-hop. But it will take a string of devastating tragedies, suicide, and even murder before many of the crew realize the same. 

Behind the glaring spotlight and shimmers of stardom lies the foundation for Detroit’s multi-platinum-selling rap group — the block from which they all came. Runyon Ave. paid a hefty price for fame, one that CB and the crew couldn’t afford. D12’s rise and fall created some of their best and worst times, but the story isn’t over. Runyon Ave. is still alive, and the block remembers.
