HOSTILE is the true story of Darius Slaughter. Life’s internal struggles, triumphs, failure and pain are reflected in graphic detail as Darius played the game of life to its extremes. Money, power and respect became his Holy Trinity as he struggled to exist between the line society designated as legal and his more lucrative, yet high risk illegal actions. Forced to live by a code of survival which actively circumvented and defied society’s morals he actively pursued the American dream and all that it represented. HOSTILE is a true account of overcoming life’s adversity. Darius’s talents, brains and will to survive eventually led him to success and opportunity. However, the path less traveled came at a price and caused him to gamble with his life, sanity and freedom in his quest for Money, Power and Respect. Far from the fairytale ride painted by rappers and those who seek to glorify the streets, readers are warned to beware the reality and emotions of his journey. Situations become supremely personal and intimate as Darius bares his soul to the world. Darius’s journey is a modern day fable morally speaking to a generation raised by music videos and video games: Those who fail to grasp the tragedy awaiting them, should they succumb to the streets and lives of crime. He hopes that his experiences, tragedies and losses will help to open the eyes of those who take this journey with him and deter would-be gangsters and hoodlums. Lost lives- friends and foes alike, unborn children- who never took their first breath and the walking dead - those lost to the system all bear silent witness to the trials of life that created the modern day monster. His long term goals include speaking to at risk youth and opening a non-profit organization aimed at molding young minds, bodies and souls into well-rounded, contributing members of society.
