Some betrayals ain't just dirty-they're deadly.
In the unforgiving streets of Houston, Texas, where trust is rare and loyalty comes with a body count, OG Q is a name you don't whisper unless you ready to deal with the consequences. But when his day-one, Spanky-the man he called brother-sets him up behind his back, Q don't go loud.
He goes to war.
From club shootouts with the Southside to ambushes in broad daylight, The Setup drags you into a world where every smile hides a snake and every silence screams revenge. Diamond, Q's queen and cold-blooded hitter from Groveland Terrace, got his back-and a few bodies under her nails. Carmen, the old flame who slides back into the picture, holds secrets that cut deeper than her kisses.
And when the real setup is revealed?
Ain't nobody safe-not even blood.
As the city bleeds, the OGs rise-Gman, Buck, and Mooney-bringing street justice with a precision only legends possess. But even with the war raging, Q stays cool, quiet, and calculated.
Because this ain't about ego.
It's about legacy.
This is Houston. This is Kashmere Gardens. This is the price of betrayal.
And when it's all said and done?
Q parks his slab on Kashmere Street, fires up a blunt, lets Z-Ro's Respect My Mind ride out the speakers-and looks out over a city that learned one thing too late:
You don't cross Q and live to tell about it.
The Setup is a raw, emotional, and unapologetically gangsta hood thriller that bleeds real from the first page to the last.
