Before Midnight Falls
Malik “Vonn” Carter walked away from a life most people never escape.
The streets made him. The streets feared him. But he left it all behind for one reason—his son.
Now in Chicago, Malik is trying to rebuild his life through music, turning pain into lyrics and survival into stories. But just as his voice begins to rise, so does the attention—from the industry… and from the past he thought he buried.
When loyalty pulls him back into danger and a single night changes everything, Malik is forced to confront a truth he can’t outrun:
You can change your life…
but the streets never forget your name.
