Krete walked through the gates of Deerfield Correctional Facility a free man, after spending four years in prison equipped with a master plan. Within six months of his release he was gainfully employed and financially stable. He poured concrete by day and chased his passion for music at night with the goal of owning his own entertainment company. Unfortunately, for Krete bad habits die slowly-especially if the price was right. Greed gives way to reason without regards to the impact it would have on the lives of the people in his tightknit circle. Amidst the growing chaos, Krete finds himself blessed and cursed by the love of two women, which could later prove dangerous for all involved. Many lies were told in an effort to balance the demands of multiple relationships as both worlds begin to collide. They both played pivotal roles in his life-one has his heart and the other one has his back. In addition, an unexpected windfall opens up a drug pipeline stretching from Georgia to VA, which attracts deadly consequences and the life he once envisioned evolves into a dream deferred.
About the Author: I was born October 4, 1971 in Hampton, Virginia where I lived for many years until relocating to the Metro-Atlanta area. I am the proud father of three children and I'm currently employed full time @10DeGrez Records Music and books are two of the influential things in my life, so it only made sense for me to combine the two. In keeping with my entrepreneur spirit, I self-publish my debut novel, Play Your Position Krete. Growing up in my house, music served as an alarm clock on Saturday mornings. My mother used music to beckon my brothers and me out of our beds to get up and start on our weekend chores. After that, for the rest of the day until the street lights came on, I was outside with my friends walking in circles throughout our neighborhood blasting the latest rap artist to emerge on the scene. At that time, rap music was at its rawest state and most influential. I've been on a musical mission ever since to create a platform of my own. Summer of '93, I was an intern at WCMS, which at the time was the longest running Country music station. In 1996, I was contracted by KHR Promotions, a company based out Raleigh, N.C., to collaborate with other area radio stations over a two-year span appealing to a vast audience. I received my FCC license in 1992 while working at Willis Broadcasting training directly under the program director. Although, the industry is forever changing I strive to stay current and as well as committed to reaching my goal of owning my own independent music label. Visit www.playyourpositionkrete.net.com
