The Orie Story

This is a story of a man who gained everything just to lose it all striving to fulfill his dreams.
Most of you may know him as Poppi from The Street of God 2 book by Christian Hayward. Now read the complete life story of Orie Anderson told by the man himself.
This is the story of a kid who grew up in one of Cleveland, Ohio's most dangerous neighborhoods and who had to face poverty, violence, drugs, racism, and even police brutality--all while suffering from a severe bipolar disorder.

Then one day, he discovered his gift in rap music. As he fought to escape his harsh reality, in search of a better life for himself and his family, he fell victim to the allure of the drug trade. He suddenly found himself trapped in a lifestyle of drug deals, violence, sex, and money. On his mission to gain it all, he would eventually lose everything.
After being falsely accused of the murder of his own friend, he would stand trial for a crime he didn't commit. "For every artist such as Jay-Z who was fortunate enough to make it out the game, there is an artist like myself who couldn't escape the traps!" This is the true Orie story.
