Andre "Mac Dre" Hicks always found a way to tell his story. He was one of the first rappers to record songs through a prison phone in the early '90s (much to the dismay of his jailors). His untimely death in 2004 left a wound in the Bay Area hip-hop scene that's never quite healed. This is the complete story of how Mac Dre became one of the most important rap stars on the West Coast, told through the eyes and voices of those who witnessed his meteoric rise from the streets of Vallejo all the way to regional rap stardom. Exclusive interviews with his mother, Mac Wanda, illuminate a rich family history going back to the Deep South at the turn of the 20th century. We hear from close confidant Kilo Curt, who was among those arrested with Mac Dre for attempted bank robbery and spent time with him in FCI Lompoc afterward. Numerous close collaborators share their memories of the rise of Hyphy music in the Bay Area and help contextualize Mac Dre's role in the subgenre, which would eventually influence artists like Drake and capture the ears of the nation. The story of Mac Dre is the story of rap in America, from the authorities' attempts to block his success to his tragic, unsolved death in Kansas City. It's an arc that's followed by many of the genre's greatest artists, from Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls to more recent stars Drakeo The Ruler and Pop Smoke. The story of Mac Dre is the story of a rapper who lifted an entire community through artistic determination and refusing to bow to the oppressive forces seeking to silence those around him.

Inside the largest public fraud scandal in US history-how novice, experienced, and professional fraudsters from around the world stole hundreds of billions of US pandemic relief dollars. "Part history, part thriller, part biography...," Left Holding the Bag is a compelling inside account from former inspector general and pandemic watchdog Bob Westbrooks. Part cop/part auditor, Westbrooks takes you behind the scenes as he chronicles how Washington responded to its COVID test and how American taxpayers lost roughly $500 billion to pandemic relief fraud and waste. With a mask-wearing nation under stay-at-home orders while a deadly virus ravaged the population, during PPE shortages and people dying alone in ICUs, before vaccines and immunity and time reopened the American way of life after three years, the federal government, through six hastily written COVID-19 relief laws provided the largest infusion of emergency relief spending in US history. The federal government distributed an unfathomable $5 trillion, through a jumble of federal programs in the hundreds, to a menagerie of recipients in the millions. Some federal programs were poorly designed and easily exploited by unscrupulous operators. Competing crises soon distracted the nation, while homegrown and global pirates looted federal pandemic relief programs and plundered roughly $500 billion in relief funds-and left American taxpayers holding the bag. This book takes you back to this extraordinary time, the federal government's unprecedented response, and the exemplary work of the inspectors general and their federal law enforcement partners as they followed the money, flagged fraud risks, disrupted fraud schemes, and chased bad guys through a stunning true crime wave. Our country literally can't afford another financial hit like this, and Westbrooks provides a blueprint to help ensure it never happens again.
