Com'n Up

Com'n Up (Second Edition) by KC Clark

Before the movies. Before the noise. There was the truth — raw, unfiltered, and unstoppable. The streets, the grind, the rise: this is Marcus’ story.

Com'n Up is a raw, powerful street lit urban fiction and black urban crime thriller about ambition, loyalty, and survival in Miami's toughest neighborhoods. Written originally in 1995 and reborn thirty years later, this second edition captures the hunger of young men trying to escape the trap — before the world of social media, smartphones, and viral fame ever existed.

The story follows Marcus, a determined hustler navigating poverty, temptation, and betrayal in the relentless pursuit of something better. Caught between his dreams and his environment, Marcus must decide whether to rise above the streets or be consumed by them. Every choice carries a cost — and in Miami, the wrong move can be fatal.

Told with the raw realism and cinematic edge that defines KC Clark's work, Com'n Up explores what it means to chase success when every system is designed for you to fail. It's a story of grit, heartbreak, and redemption — where ambition meets survival and hope becomes an act of rebellion. Fans of African American coming of age, hood origin story fiction, and urban crime thriller series will find a story that’s authentic, cinematic, and unforgettable.

This isn't a fairy tale about the streets; it's a mirror held up to them. Clark, a Miami native and underground filmmaker behind 2 Sides of Life, Bootleggers, and Flipping Out, brings the same authenticity that made his films cult classics.

Com'n Up (Second Edition) isn't just a book — it's a time capsule. Set before the digital age, it takes readers back to an era of beepers, pay phones, and raw conversation. Even in the darkest corners, there's still light for those who keep climbing.

For fans of African American street lit, urban fiction, and stories with a heartbeat — this is where it all began.
