Unidentified Black Male

The story of Ornell Yards - an ex convict running with the South Central Mob. 

 

It explores the trials & tribulations of a man unable to reintegrate into surface-level society, and hardly able to integrate into a criminal underworld; so different from when he last traversed it. 

 

Life's a bitch, and loyalty sold herself for quick money. Respect matters little when not punctuated by violence. 

 

It's all fucked up, but it's the last lifeline he holds onto...

Ornell's difficulties are emphasized in this story through his problematic relationship with the prostitute "Diamond", his mentor: Malik "Buck Teeth" Lagos, and frenemy slash Street Captain: Christopher "Rich Rolling" Richards.  

 

 

The title "Unidentified Black Male" directly references a trope showcased in David Chase's "The Sopranos" where unsolved murders are publicly attributed to "two unidentified black males". It's meant to convey the elusive nature of Ornell as a criminal, in a landscape where most people's actions are loud; a landscape where mafiosos became domestic celebrities, in their own way.
