Mazaradi Fox wrote this novel in 2013 during his incarceration at the Orleans Correctional Facility. The Game Don't Change opens as DeMarco Jones escapes from a juvenile detention facility. Successfully evading the law, DeMarco builds his reputation on the streets of Queens as a fearless and charismatic drug hustler. Though he is only 16, women of all ages can't get enough of DeMarco. He soon finds, however, that he must battle ferociously to maintain his new kingpin status.
Mazaradi Fox (1971-2014), born Jamal Green, was a rap star who grew up in South Jamaica, Queens. Like childhood friend 50 Cent, Fox was on the streets from an early age--a situation that led him to make numerous trips to prison. It was during an eight-year stint on heinous charges that Fox made the decision to focus on his music. Upon Fox's release, 50 Cent brought him over to his label, G-Unit Records. In January 2014, Fox was killed when a gunman in a black ski mask opened fire on an SUV he was in on Farmers Boulevard in Queens.
