It's the author's very skill at evoking that sordid and intense time that gave him the name "The Legendary Experience." Young Loc's On the Westside features the story of kids that live on the Westside of the city, and lived outside the stereotype of other gangbangers in the city. Instead of bandanas, these gangsters wear preppy brands, but brandish cold steel. "I wrote Young Loc's On the Westside for straight-up shock value. America has a sickfascination with sex, money and murder". I decided to take readers on a journey down this path filled with lustful innuendos and let them experience it in a gritty visceral way. I'm going to give it to them uncut, raw, and straight with no chaser. That fantasy has now been changed into a very sexy and gritty reality," says Legendary. Young Loc's On the Westside is now available in paperback on Amazon.com and Overtheedgebooks.com it will soon be followed up the other books in the series.
