In the early 1990's Mobstyle rose up from the New York streets to build one of the largest cocaine empires in history. The crew was so well-known that it was immortalized in the major motion picture "Paid in Full."

Yet even as they were becoming celebrities, its crew members struck fear in the city. Mobstyle: The True Story of My Brush with Death and the Betrayal of Alpo is a compelling glimpse into the New York drug trade in the 1990's, as described by the man who lived it. It's also an inspiring narrative of redemption.

You can't trust anyone when it comes to the drug game. This was one of the things Wip Wop learned on the streets during the height of the New York drug war, and betrayal was the second. He was introduced to the infamous drug dealer Alpo Martinez who was involved in countless murders. When Alpo was indicted on drug and murder charges in the 1990's he struck a deal with the government and agreed to become an informant.

This is a story about growing up and running with Harlem's famed hustlers, the betrayal that came with it, and their rise and fall as members of the rap group and drug crew Mobstyle.

Wip Wop is a clothing designer who was a part of the rap group Mobstyle. He currently resides on the east coast with his life partner. He is a dedicated father of two, who still makes music in his free time.
