The come up was on the rise and if Hood had anything to say about it he would be the first in line.

Seeing beyond the darkest days has always been Dakota “Ko-Ko’ Frazier’s greatest gift. She would take the saddest of situations and turn it into something to celebrate.

Responsibility weight heavy on her shoulders with her grandfather and little sister depending on her. What doesn’t crumble never falls in terms of Ms. KoKo. If you need it she got and nothing’s too pricy for her to boost. She didn’t agree with the methods used to finance her life but sometimes you had to do unspeakable acts just to make sure comfortability wasn’t no longer a luxury.

She was better and above all of it. Modeling became a passion while fame became an obsession. Who Destini had to step on didn’t matter because she was who she was and wanted what she wanted.

Franklin housing projects is notorious on the southside of Chicago and for five friends it’s the place they call home. Pissy hallways, crack fiends in and out the buildings, dope boys on the stoop, big body cars, and even bigger money was what their place of residence has to offer.
