The Book Of Troi

This book isn’t just a list of cool moves or tough talk—it’s a guide to avoiding
one of the worst mistakes you can make. Because here’s the real truth: the
streets aren’t just a place to hustle—they’re a place where one slip-up can put
cost you your freedom or your life. Once you get caught up in the system,
you’re “trapped”. You’re now legally considered a modern slave. Every detail
of your life is in someone else hands. Felony records can hinder your future. In
Virginia, a whopping 77% of the penalties tied to a criminal conviction affect
employment—closing doors to stable jobs, proper housing, and professional
licenses. Even though Virginia’s recidivism rate is one of the lowest in the
nation—17.6% over three years—that doesn’t mean you escape getting trapped.
It just means the system doesn’t let go easily once it grabs you. You end up
dealing with missed opportunities, limited access to decent housing, and
lifelong stigma from your record. Even in fields that don’t normally look for
trouble, like retail or construction, employers may still deny you unless the
offense is directly related. That’s why this book exists—to help you avoid the
old mistakes that lead to you being loose and caught up in “The Trap” lifestyle.
This isn’t about glorifying the grind or celebrating the hood; it’s about teaching
you how to survive, elevate, and transition from trapping to building. The
lessons in these pages come from real experiences, real mistakes, and real
growth. As Jay- Z once said: “I show you how to move in a room full of
vultures.”
