New York City . . . if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. In the slums of New York, young DOWOP believed in the American Dream. He had dreams and visions of getting his family and friends out of the ghetto; unfortunately, drugs became his way out. He began selling nickels and dimes of heroin and cocaine on the streets of Harlem and built a crime family on Sugar Hill . . . the Cocaine Mecca. The 80s was a defining time that ushered in the crack epidemic and the birth of a new era. Young DOWOP introduced crack cocaine to the city, where it brought great rewards and made him the first millionaire of his class, all of this at the age of 18. Money, murder, and respect were the law of the 80s, where only the strong survived and the weak perished.
