Pappy

The eastside of Buffalo, New York, is notorious for its violence, gangs and dope. It’s a dangerous place for those unfamiliar with the codes of the streets, but for those who roam this concrete jungle, they learn to survive by any means necessary. Pappy is one of those survivors, a young man seeking knowledge of himself and striving to be accepted by others like himself. As a child he was raised by a man who murdered his mother but protected him as a caring father would be expected to. Pappy became a street gangster and cocaine dealer, using drugs and alcohol to cope with everyday living. In the midst of his destructive lifestyle he became a rap artist, but the streets held her negative grip until he found himself behind prison walls, where he found a new way of life.
